Many thanks to Cory West who kindly took these photos.

Sunday’s Launch was a blast!  Thanks to all our friends, fans and families for coming along, dressing up and getting down.  We had a fantastic day, bringing sunshine to a stormy sunday.  Here are a few kind words from some of our more voluble supporters:

Just like to say how much everyone I was with enjoyed Sunday. It was a lovely atmosphere and great entertainment.Best wishes, Viv

I have just listened to ‘Bandabacana’: it’s great! I’ve been playing music (albeit in a ceilidh band) for 45 years, and listened to many albums and this is one of the best. It cheered me up driving to work, and that’s a real achievement. Bright, uplifting, unique and brilliantly produced, the world needs to hear it. Congratulations to you all. Barry (Dalton) Mooncoin

Cds arrived safely and what a cracker the Banda Bacana is! Craig
