It's been a pretty busy year. We were busy finishing up the album and edits for videos and tv commercials in January and February. In March, we went on tour with Lemar throughout the UK and in June, we released the first single "Sweet Things" from the album "Woman At Work". I got married right in the middle of the tour (we had a day off in between the Glasgow gig at the Clyde auditorium, so, we drove to Gretna Green with all of our friends and family and got married there!!...was a really amazing day ... basically perfect. I think it's probably one of the only days in my life that went 'smoothly'...)
At the end of April through August, we were again all over the UK playing gigs in people's living rooms and doing regional radio sessions (and we're still doing that at the moment.) It was a great summer and we played quite a few festivals rain or shine!! (And, since I live in Scotland, it was a lot of rain!)
In the meanwhile, we've had all the extra work as well since we are an independent label. I'm not sure if very people realise that our record label basically consists of me, my husband, a guy called graham and a guy called Phil. Between us, we've done a load of work. Over this past year, I had been working with a web designer to build a new and very innovative music community which I'll tell you about in my future blogs. My husband has been working on the inventory side of it as well. So, not only have we been touring and releasing records and playing sessions, and recording songs and videos, we've been designing a kind of 'monster' which, I can't wait to tell all my musician friends and bands all about... (don't worry, non-musicians will be allowed to network there too... but, it's pretty cool!)
If you are reading this and want to join me on myspace, you'll probably find out more about this new community there via my bulletins and things (I also send out a 'word of the day' which is usually some ridiculously long and funny or awkward word that I or one of my friends chose for the day...)...
Anyway, Now, (September) with the release of the second single "One Of Us" we have a lot of radio sessions scheduled and more 'house' gigs! It's been a fun and rather jam-packed year. Here is the banner for the new single, you can click on it to preview/listen to it (It's a cover of the Eric Bazillian track "One of Us":

I'm looking forward to this coming month of October because we're releasing in 9 countries in Scandanavia and the Baltic States, so, it's furry coats and insulated boots for a wee while! And well, that pretty much catches you up with my year so far!.....
