Lord Franklin Live Recording

Monday 13th February we have been invited to perform at the Leopold Probus Group centre on the Bellarine Peninsular. Another engagement following their visit to the Darnum Musical Village in 2011.

Due to an unexpected health problem, April and May effectively became a write off!! But life goes on and the outcome of the surgery I (Colin) had on 3rd May is that I am slowly getting back into the swing of things, and managed to join in with the German Club gig on 30th May. We had Leigh Beechaz and Peter Drysdale with us and managed to put on a great afternoon of music for them. We were very happy to be asked back for another go next year. Up coming are concerts at the Darnum Musical Village, and a return to The Barn On Jackson's in Jindivick on 26th June and 21st August(See Appearances for details.)

As at 21st September 2011 we have just completed recording our 4th CD, which will be called "From Both Sides" reflecting both Susan's and my backgrounds as we were both born on the other side of the world in the UK. Sue has spent all but ten years of her life here in Australia, and I have spent half of mine here too. This is our home. There are 17 songs on the CD and we are now about to send off for copyright authority before organising a 500 CD print sometime in October. This will allow us to launch the CD mid November at the Darnum Musical Village. Our particular thanks to Brenden Morris who provided some great Double Bass music to many of our songs, and to John Reid, on drums/percussion. John's touch has been a terrific asset on this and on previous recordings. Please let us know if you wish to recieve an invitation to the launch, as we are expecting a full house at the Village.
Some of the songs : Both Sides Now; Carolina In My Mind; Vincent; The Rose; Will you still Love Me Tomorrow and many others requested by so many of you who have heard us perform. A full list of songs will appear soon! The CD will be priced at just $15, as we have recorded and produced the CD in our own studio. The concert date is Sunday 20th November from 2pm. There is a $5 Venue Cover Charge, and there will be tea and coffee provided, with soft drinks for sale. BYO alcohol.
