And we're back...

Firstly, hello to everyone reading this, Irene here. We've decided to take turns posting on this, so here's the latest...

After a lengthy summer break (that is, break from the band), we're back to business. We had every intention of recording the album a couple of months ago, but I found myself distracted.. Eh, that is to say, I couldn't resist catching the Springsteen & E Street Band European tour, so it's my fault you still have that money you put aside to buy the album rattling annoyingly in your pocket. Please forgive me..

But it may be just as well, after weeks of listening to the cosmic songs of Springsteen, and hours of catching up with the incredible archive shows of Little Steven's "Underground Garage" (I had neglected quite a few, as it turns out), www.littlestevensundergroundgarage.com, I graciously recieved the inspiration I had longed for... Quite simply, we now have one album to make, and hundereds of songs from which to choose from. With a little luck, we'll pick the better ones, and we should have the tracks down in a month or so (Rocco still hasn't returned from his hiking holiday, I wouldn't take any notice, but he was only going to Neptune, NJ, what did he expect to climb?..).

Billy's latest book, "In Too Deep", is available on Amazon, or order it from a bookstore near you. Just follow the links from www.billyocallaghan.co.uk

Keep an eye on the website for updates (http://www.thecolleys.t83.net).

I'm afraid this is where it ends for now, but I'll have one of the guys post again soon, and if you find yourself with a little spare time, don't forget to check out the Underground Garage radio show, it's well-worth a listen if, like us, you're a touch behind the times, and you like your music cooooool...!
