Home after another good day of rehearsal, trying to remember parts of songs I knew yesterday.
Back to Cranberries rehearsal tomorrow, heading into week 3 & a lot of new tracks. Spent today trying to work out parts to new tracks.
Another day @ rehearsal. Hope to have some photos & a bit of video later in the week. We ate up to 12 new tracks now.
Just off to Cranberries rehearsal, last day this week. Time for a few more Seneca edits tomorrow before it all goes off to be mixed.
The band have spent the last four weeks rehearsing in Limerick. The band have been going through new tracks for the upcoming album due for release later in the year.We will begin recording the new album mid April in Toronto with producer Stephen Street who the band have worked with many times before.The band are also looking at new live dates for the summer and will have more news soon! .
London Feis has confirmed that it will be extending its festival to a second day, which is to be headlined by Van Morrison. Joining Saturday headliner Bob Dylan, the Northern Irish singer-songwriter will be headlining the festival on Sunday 19th June in London's Finsbury Park. The Irish music festival, which celebrates 21 years of the best Irish and International music in Finsbury Park, will also host the newly reformed Irish rock band The Cranberries. The band, who have had worldwide sales of over 40 million records with hits such as 'Linger', 'Zombie' and 'Dreams' have announced that this, like Bob Dylan's appearance, will be their only UK festival performance this year.
From Stephen Street's official site:"Heading over to Ireland later on this week to link up with Noel from the Cranberries and have a listen through to their rehearsal recordings and demos as I'm going to be helping them record their next LP. We are going to start it next month in Toronto Canada as Delores now lives there and I'm looking forward to hooking up with the guys again after a lengthy break."
Dropped Mr. Street back to the airport after a very productive day.
So it's Tuesday the 19th of April when we start recording the new Cranberries album. Studio and flights all booked for Toronto.
