NEW SONGS IN THE OFFING: The band are currently working on the follow up to Dance Again at their own Huddersfield studio. The first fruits of their labour will be a planned single 'Electric'. It is hoped that the single will be available early in the new year.....
NEW ALBUM UNDER WAY...
Although progress has been made on the new recordings, it has taken more time than first anticipated. As a result the new single 'Electric' has had it's release delayed. It is hoped that it will now be available by early February. Alan continues to work on new tracks which so far include 'Forever Yours', 'Her Secrets', 'Running With The Dogs', 'Electric', 'Rolling With The Punches', 'Hearts Filled With Happiness', 'Love's Young Dream' & 'Can't Slow Down'. Work is set to continue in the new year and it is hoped that some of them could be available in some form or other the moment they are finished. Simon describes this bunch of new songs as 'happier' than the songs featured on Dance Again.
RASPBERRY TORTOISE LIVE...
The band performed recently as part of the Rotherham Open Arts Festival. They appeared in the first Saturday Brunch Concert and enjoyed the experience of playing somewhere completely new. Simon adds 'It was great to play out of our usual area and hopefully we will be back down there soon to share the experience.'
Prior to the Rotherham show the band had played at a number of the ongoing Acoustic Circus evenings. Venues included Birstall, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. 'We are planning on playing soon at another of these events but it will probably be well into the new year now' adds Simon.
The next headline show is scheduled to take place once more at Dewsbury Socialist Club, probably at the end of January, although the date has still to be finalised...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS...
Raspberry Tortoise would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Also they would like to thank all friends who continue to lend their valuable support - it is very much appreciated!
