DEAN OWENS – AUTUMN NEWS
NEWS***The Felsons Acoustic Duo show!!***NEWS
Hi there.
Autumn, my favourite season is here. Though what happened to the summer??
I’m just back from Sweden where I was playing a few shows. I had a fab trip and worked with some great people. I was travelling with Swedish singer/songwriter Annika Fehling. Annika runs a travelling show called The Living Room and we played a couple of gigs in the Stockholm area and also on the lovely island of Gotland in the ancient city of Visby.
It was great to finally make it to Sweden and I hope a return trip will be on the cards in the not too distant future.
Here’s a quick reminder about what’s coming up on the gig front including news of my first hometown show in Leith for a couple of years –
I’m doing a fundraising show in Wales on the 24th October at the Trelawnyd Memorial Hall, Flintshire (near Rhyl). It’s a double header with Folk artist Bella Hardy. For more information go to www.myspace.com/therecordjournal or for tickets go to http://www.gonorthwales.co.uk/shopping/thedms-shop.aspx?dms=72&shop=13&prod=2775
My hometown show in Leith is going to be a Felsons acoustic duo gig on October 29th at The Sapphire Music Club @ The Guilty Lily in Leith, Edinburgh. Calais Brown and I will be performing songs from both The Felsons albums and my solo records. We’ll also be playing songs from the new Felsons mini album Good To Be Back. It’ll be great to play in Leith again. The Guilty Lily is just round the corner from where I grew up. The Sapphire Club is hosted by singer/songwriter Lorna Brooks. For more information go to www.thesapphire.co.uk I hope to see all you fellow Leithers out there at the gig! : )
Thanks to everyone who came out to my shows in Bury and Durham last month. They were fab.
Remember if you would like to purchase a copy of the new mini album by The Felsons – Good To Be Back, just drop me a line and I’ll give you the details. They are £5 each plus p&p. If you want to check out a couple of tracks go to www.myspace.com/thefelsons
Also there are still Limited Edition LP copies of Whisky Hearts available. These come in red vinyl with a gatefold sleeve, plus you also get a copy of the cd.
I’m thinking about shows for 2010 now, both solo and with The Felsons, so if you’ve any ideas of places I may not have heard of in your town or a place near you that I should be looking at playing then please let me know. Thanks.
I’ve got plenty of songs for the next album now so hopefully I’ll get into the studio soon to record them.
That’s it for now.
Here’s to some lovely Autumn days : )
Cheers, Dean
