We have almost completed the initial recordings for the new album. Rufus Fry blessed us with his incredible harmonica playing and Chris Egan added his sax magic to a few tracks, blowing us all away with the Ewi on Poison Pen and Shine.
The song list stretches from a couple of reworked tracks from the 1970s to a song written and recorded just a few days ago (Splinters and Sparks)
The album title has been finally decided on. I can reveal here that 'Boy In The Attic' is the title.
This Sunday sees me performing a selection of the songs for the first time in an acoustic setting, joined by Mike Cooling my co-producer and Rufus. We'll be at the Garden Festival at Hellen's Manor, Much Marcle at 13:00 on June 8th.
From the desk of Skyhook: 'Ok another wonderful addition to thehttps://www.facebook.com/gardenfestival.herefordshireline up, David Ireland.

Davids passion for his art shines through, in this very current album. You can just tell he is as in touch with what is new and current now as he is with the best that the past few decades have to offer. Come and get a tastes of the delights to come.'
So there you have it. A brief update of what has been an extraordinarily creative time. Fourteen songs have been earmarked for a final mix. The single should be out mid-summer, the album towards the end of the year.
