Looking forward to Blondie Next Week and some Interailing!

Hope you are all well!!

We are very excited about our shows for next week with Blondie on their Irish Tour!! We are going to go for a four piece line up for Silhouette on these shows – and it will be soooo much fun!

We are also in rehearsals for a live recording on Saturday in Mouth Recording Studios, Belfast and are really looking forward to the upcoming festivals too!!

Connor and I are also heading of on an Interail trip in July for a couple of weeks in search of inspiration for some new song ideas following the Blondie shows so keep your eyes peeled for some stories and maybe some video blogs too! :) Image
