The Fox Hunt

So we’ve been many places, seen many things and played for quite a few new folks all without a single post. We’ve honestly been so busy with rehearsing, performing and adventuring that we haven’t had much time to lounge around and add to the ever growing world-wide web, but our luck has changed and here you have it post number 2.

We spent the whole first week working out a set of tunes with the Henry Girls (www.thehenrygirls.com) that we’ll hopefully get recorded at some point. There’s talk of doing a live CD or digital single from the show this coming Thursday night. Hopefully that will all pan out. We’ll be playing several shows with them coming up as a part of the Earagail Arts Festival (www.eaf.com)

We also did our first string of Scottish gigs with Brookfield Knights (www.brookfield-knights.com) and they’ve all been wonderful. The audiences here are close listeners, but we’ve been doing our best to adapt, them.

While in Scotland last, we performed in towns and cities of drastically different sizes and shapes. We saw cities and country side, adventured castles, climbed monuments and traveled on a boat that rides almost on top the water, but despite it all, our driver/tour manager Gerry managed to get us out and back to Ireland alive and unscathed. Here’s a link to an article about our performance in Sterling, http://www.heraldscotland.com/arts-ents/stage-visual-arts/the-fox-hunt-tolbooth-stirling-1.1038651

We’re back near the beach now in Malin and we’re relaxing, rehearsing and looking forward to a great string of Irish gigs starting in Derry tomorrow night.

Here are a few pics. Wish you could see them all, these places are truly beautiful.

Here's a good shot of Matt jamming with the local color in Cork.

Wal Mart has made it to Scotland and it's name is Asda

Here's a shot of the beach from a hill right outside of Malin where we're spending most of our time.

Edinburgh from atop the Sir Walter Scott Monument. There are tons of good ones from Edinburgh. This was the hardest to snap through sheer acrophobia.

We fit 5 people and all our instruments in the back of a Kia people carrier coming back from Larne to Malin.
