OF A TIME - PRE-ORDERING NOW OPEN TILL 13 JUNE
==============================================
Apologies for the delay in getting this going. You can now pre-order the new release "Of A Time" on the Witchwood Records online shop, price £12 plus P&P.
http://www.shop.firstandbest.co.uk/wwr/
If you order before 5pm UK time on 13 JUNE, you will get your name in the CD booklet.
=====================================
CRYSTAL PALACE GARDEN PARTY CANCELLED
=====================================
Unfortunately the Crystal Palace Garden Party gig on 23 June has had to be cancelled, owing to serious structural problems with the stage.
Under other circumstances postponement to a new date would be an obvious option but due to the Olympics, no Police support can be used until after the Paralympics and after then, the park already has other events in the diary up to the end of September after which it is unfeasible to have an outdoor concert.
