A Time to Celebrate

The band put together the recordings for this CD, over the course of two sessions during summer and autumn of 2003, which was then released during November of that year. This CD is full of festive music, and is entitled "A Time To Celebrate."

So yes, there we were in shorts and tee-shirts on a very hot and sunny summer's day, blasting out the sounds Christmas music, probably to the amusement of any passers by and residents local to the Vale High School where the recordings were made.

This time we only produced the music in CD format, but we have decided to take on a lot of the production work ourselves rather than going through a production company, thereby keeping the costs of making the CDs to a minimum.
