As many of you know, for over a year now I have been playing music with a few great friends. Our band is called Eitleán. Watch out for us. With the news I am going to tell you today we are launching a major campaign to increase our exposure in the Traditional Irish music scene.

I am absolutely delighted to tell you that on Saturday we release our very first album. This has been in the works for a year now! We took our time getting it ready because as we recorded new tracks our style evolved. We wanted this to be very evident on our first release.

The album is called The Devil Set. It got its name because of the last track. Because it gets quite fast, Trudy, our accordion player nicknamed it The Devil Set. The name has stuck and it suits the informal nature of the band quite well.

The CD will be in shops next week for just €10.00 but if you want to grab a copy online, you can download it from the Eitlean website for just €8.00.

This weekend, we are welcoming people home in Dublin airport on Saturday and Sunday morning and on Sunday afternoon we jet off to Paris to perform twice before returning home on Tuesday evening.

Oh. One more thing. If your quick, and you like or share the Eitleán Facebook page before Saturday you’ll be in with a chance of winning a free copy of the album.
