31 Mar 05 - 06:26 AM (#1447720) Subject: Firm Friends - CD Launch From: nutty I'm sure that Mudcatters and Firm Friends fans will be interested to know that the new CD Firm Friends 'IN HARMONY' will be launched on the GMR 'Sounds of Folk' radio programme (presented by Mudcatter ALIO) on Monday 4th April. ("Sounds of Folk" on BBC GMR - 95.1 and 104.6FM 7:00 - 8:00pm Phone-in 0161 228 2255 Email ali.obrien@bbc.co.uk) Firm Friends are myself, Hazel Bolton, Theresa Tooley (Treatise), Ann Clancy (Avison) and Alan Cox. We four love singing together and creating stunning unaccompanied harmonies with both contemporary and traditional material. Firm Friends have a pre-launch booking at The Shoddy Doggy Folk Club - Dewsbury on Saturday 2nd April. |

Remember, we go on air at 20:05 BST (after the news), and are on 95.1/104.6 FM, DAB and online. The programme is on until 21:00, and Firm Friends will probably be speaking at around 20:15 and again at 20:35 (times approximate). Don't forget! You can contact Ali via email whilst we're on air! We look forward to hearing from you! |

05 Apr 05 - 04:27 PM (#1452968) Subject: RE: Firm Friends - CD Launch From: MoorleyMan A track every week? Mm, that means Ali will only get through four tracks by the end of the month, shame! If I had a radio show, then I could make it my album of the quarter, then I could get away with playing two tracks each week - oh sod it if the maths don't work, I can dream can't I? But big congrats to all four of you and your production team, the CD really does you justice. M |
