Monday 30 July 2012


So we danced the night away until One or later...but at 18.00hrs we were on-stage at Molly's Bar with the first live run though of the new album 'A Twist Of Time'.

It was a fantastic event with some stunning new versions of songs such as 'I Can't Cry', 'Money Matters' and a chilling ' Shropshire Lad'. There were tears!

We played for a full hour to an appreciative and laid-back Womad crowd. Unforgettable!

Look out for a dance remix of 'The Bridge' soon.

And one short hour later, Dave took on the role of DJ with a hot dance set including Donna Summer, Fred Astaire and Madonna amongst others. The Dancing did not stop...

David Ireland - A Twist Of Time - The New Album


A Twist Of Time - The New Album by David Ireland - Launched live at WOMAD on 29th July 2012

http://timeaftertime.bandcamp.com/

A Twist Of Time was recorded in the Cotswolds between April and July. The album
features fourteen tracks recorded with the cream of local musicians.

Ireland describes A Twist Of Time as 'a concept album for the twenty-first century'.

The themes are Time, Money, Life and Death. The songs were written while the album was
taking shape in the studio. There is a spontaneous and almost organic feel to the tracks.
Subject matter is as diverse as warfare, 911, global recession and the transience of life.
There are also a couple of love songs in there too!

Ireland began performing in the 60s and has remained fresh and involved with current
music. As he tells us, '...some of the musicians on the album are quite young. Amazingly
talented, but many of them are under 25. The energy they create and the spontaneity of
their musicianship is astounding. I felt truly privileged to share my music with them'.

A Twist Of Time is out now, on Double Infinity Records and is available for immediate
download at http://timeaftertime.bandcamp.com/
