It’s been a busy time so, apologies, there haven’t been many opportunities to post any updates lately!
Goldfinches’ debut album, ‘Shanti Time’, was released online at the end of April (you can stream and download it from Bandcamp). The band is very pleased with it and we hope you will enjoy listening to it too (a CD version, complete with lyric booklet, will also be available at our gigs). The album was mostly recorded at Tony Plato’s house in Crediton and then mixed by dBs Pro in Bristol.
The photo above is from the Bristol album launch which took place in our local pub on Windmill Hill, in south Bristol, at the end of April. Three of the band members live on or near Windmill Hill so it felt like a good place to hold a celebratory performance at. Our hunch was right! It was a great night and you can watch some phone footage from members of the audience here.
Crediton Album Launch
Our official album launch will be taking place on Friday 6th June at Credition Arts Centre. As Credition is the spiritual home of ‘Shanti Time’, we wanted to celebrate the album release there, with Tony Plato joining us on drums. As if that wasn’t enough excitement, the Buddha that Tony carved (which features on the album cover) will manifest at the gig, AND we will be joined by Credition duo Triffles (“suppliers of sundry songs silly, sarcastic & (sometimes) sincere”). It’s going to be a very special event which we hope you will be able to join us for.
Tickets are available from the Crediton Arts Centre website.
