we're really happy about the way the new album is sounding, and the feedback from the few people to have heard it in the industry is very positive indeed - the CDs are in production right now, and we can't wait to get them out there. but we will have to wait a bit... here's the timescale for 5 related activities. those of you who have been following us on twitter or facebook will be aware of some of this already, but here it all is in one place:
january 11th - we'll be sending out the pre-release copies of the album to those of you who came to the show, a full two months in advance of release.
january 16th - album preview show at celtic connections festival. we're at the classic grand in glasgow from 7.30. your only chance to buy the album before the launch. also on the bill are ruth notman and john smith - tickets are £12.50 and available from the box office on 01413538000.
february 27th - official album launch show at contact, manchester - the place where it all started. tickets will go quickly, but they're on sale already to those in the know. support for this show is still to be announced. the box office number is 01612740600
march 04th - the tour begins, which will stretch through to may. more details on the website soon.
march 15th - 'no.5' is fnally released to the shops, download sites and all the other places you'd expect to find it.
we hope you'll be able to join us for one or more of these events, in one way or another.
in the meantime we're still accepting entries to our 'wall of 5' competition to win music. simply send your photo of a 5 to info@hobopop.com and we'll add it to the ever growing wall, which you can see is at least twice the size it was when it last made an appearance here. the best entries will win download codes for the album of their choice.
speaking of downloads we now have a lovely new shop that sells downloads and cds all together from one place. some of you have already visited (thank you). we're delighted to finally be able to offer our free and paid downloads from one place, in a choice of formats with artwork attached etc. we're now geared up for worldwide postage too, and anyone who buys a cd from us now gets the option of an immediate download of that same album, so they can start listening straight away!
we'll be posting our spring tour dates online very soon, and hoping to see some of you on the road before too long. we'll check back in with the details as soon as we can.
