Newsletter january 2022

 

 

 

NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2022

Greetings one and all and welcome to this brand New Year!

Here we are again, at the threshold of more adventures and experiences;  not knowing what’s in store in many ways but with hopeful hearts and determination to make the best of what life brings us.  As we go to press, there are still uncertainties re live music possibilities but plenty of exciting schemes pending!

 

LOOKING TO THE POSITIVES:

2021 saw an exceptionally productive year for Martin in terms of new recordings and album production. We start 2022 off with the imminent appearance of his latest fabulous album, Good Will Factory, currently available as a  digital download and on pre-order for the CD release.

Many thanks to everyone for the wonderful response already.

For those patient souls still awaiting the vinyl Howdy Honcho, the gap before it arrives is getting shorter!  We are still in the lap of virus-related delays but so thankful for your patience. The cd and online download versions are still available of course via band camp, remember anyone purchasing HH on vinyl automatically qualifies for a HH cd to keep them company during the wait for vinyl, which will be despatched ASAP.

 

BANDCAMP FRIDAY:

This Friday, Jan 7,  sees another great opportunity to purchase  new copies of Good Will Factory  -  or any of the fantastic merchandise available -  via https://daintees.bandcamp.com/ without the artist having to pay fees to bandcamp.

 

NEW MERCHANDISE:

In homage to the spirit of these special events and as a response to requests for something to commemorate them by, we are delighted to announce the arrival of a special online gig Keepsake

This is a lovely photograph of the moment our online family shares support and draws strength from the candle’s light…

The picture has a timeless, vintage feel about it - time suspended as we  join together.

It is available in 2 images (A&B) on lightweight photo tiles -  21.3cm x 21.3cm -  with  adhesive hanging strip included.

 

LIVE LOCKDOWN: Performance, (17 tracks mastered for download only)

Martin is also making available an ‘online gig special’ to download, this is one of the very first Lockdown performances dating to April 23/24 2020, it sounds fab and will be available this Bandcamp Friday, which is today January 7th

T-SHIRTS:

There are still a few Daintees t-shirts left which were designed by fabulous artist Ian Webber, but not many, we have a small amount in every size.

 

NEW PRESSINGS:

Due to popular demand, there have been limited run re-pressings of the sold-out Daintees albums California Star and Bayswater Road.

Likewise new pressings of Anna Lavigne’s sold-out recent albums Angels in Sandshoes and Roses for the Ride.

Your kind support is a real lifeline to musicians and songwriters, particularly during these trying times  and hugely appreciated by Martin and Anna.  THANK YOU again.

 

LIVE EVENTS:

For all live events please visit daintees.co.uk and hit ‘SHOWS’  Alas the Belfast gig on Jan 15th has been Covid cancelled, shucks, here we go again

 

ONLINE EVENTS:

There will be a live Facebook performance from Martin this coming Saturday, Jan 8th (between 8pm-9:15pm) on his personal FB page, be great to see anyone who is having to stay in, we’ll cheer ya up! ;-)

the link is: https://www.facebook.com/mgstephenson/

 

WEBSITE:

The situation is ever-changing re live music possibilities, but we hope you will continue to enjoy the music and solidarity we all share. Remember to check out the website for updates and info: daintees.co.uk

Stay safe everyone and here’s to better, brighter days ahead! Thank you for sharing the journey

Xxx M & A xxX
