TRACK OF OURS ON AN EXCELLENT CD IN AID OF AN ANIMAL CHARITY

We've contributed a track (Streets of Forbes, from our Day Has Dawned album) to a charity CD, 'You Must Be Barking...'.  There's some excellent stuff on it, by a wide variety of artists.

At the moment it's only available as a download - more details, and clips from all the tracks, can be found here.

Thanks to Jonathan Taylor for organising this really worthwhile project.

CLUSTER OF NUTS REUNITED!

The Cluster of Nuts Band have done their first gigs together for 21 years, with a line-up drawn from founder members, long-standing members, and the 'final' line-up - and with a new recruit. The 2007 line-up is Chris Nelson (fiddle), Siobhan Nelson (vocals), Dave Good (guitars), Alison Heywood (keyboards, accordion, sax), Brian Heywood (bass) and Donna Whitlock (drums, percussion)

Hopefully more (occasional) Nuts gigs to come!
