Well, it certainly got a bit hectic there over Christmas and the New Year as we have taken a much needed break…ahhhh.
But now we are thinking CD’s and VJ collaborations ...who knows where this will lead – to find out why not look us up next month!
Meanwhile, been doing a bit of the ol’ administration side of things and hope to have PAYPAL up and running soon.
That way you can buy your CD’s without waiting to catch us - why not pick one up now

EKL are now back from their first international tour - with their first full length album– what a fantastic experience!
We got our kit together in France and then zapped off to Italy where we performed to a packed crowd in a mediaeval city at the top of a mountain for 6 nights. Certaldo was essentially a party of anything you like, a crazy explosion of colour, sound and festive mahem!
We then headed to Linz in Austria – a city that in some respects reminded us very much of home – to perform at the 20th anniversary of the Linzer Pflasterspektakel. It was great to see some familiar faces there and to be a part of what was essentially a smorgasbord of remarkable and sometimes bizarre tale
There was a 2 week gap in our travel itinerary before we were expected at Berne in Switzerland . We
spontaneously drove to Croatia where we performed in the Istra Region to appreciative audiences at night and explored the old cities and the Adriatic during the day. What a life! We also used the time to tidy up a few new compositions in time for Switzerland.
Bern is truly a beautiful city, the people very warm,
…but unfortunately, for the first time, their festival was almost rained out…almost but for the shelter provided by arcades and the perseverance of the Bernese who donned raincoats and umbrellas to sample the musical talent that filled the city. How special is that?
For our last festival we headed back through the alps down to Ferrara , Italy. A well established musical extravaganza – which runs for 6 nights and a day. During that time the festive spirit ran high and we performed to large crowds (including many aspiring photographers – if you were one of them how about sharing some of your photo's of us with us).
