Hey Clarelynn. I've got the studio time booked for my CD! Starting 20th of this month. Bass and drums on the 27/28th. It'll take about a month. Excited, scared. Oh boy. Hope you're well and writing!
Yes, I've got some new songs. One of them is posted on my myspace. You might've heard on old version of it posted in "Discussion" (Rose McCree) but the new version is a billion times better. Have a listen and tell me what you think. About you're other question, I'm going to send you a private message right now and answer you. : )
Acoustic Brew Presents... Dan Lyth - 13th January - 8pm
Dan’s music is majestic yet still revels in it’s own simplicity. Combining gentle acoustic guitar with an eclectic mix of lo-fi sounds he creates stunningly tender songs. Dan’s debut album has just been released to amazing critical acclaim and he just finished recording a Radio 1 session with Vic Galloway. This is a great chance to catch Dan live in the intimate setting of Cafe Fresh. You won’t be disappointed. www.myspace.com/danlyth
“not since Damien Rice's 'O' has a debut album been presented with such self-assurance” - Daily Record Saturday Plus
Hope you can come along and see Dan on Tuesday.
Support will be by Stuart Bell www.myspace.com/stuartgbellmusic
If you're interested I'm also playing at Dunfermline Folk Club on Wed 14th (8.30). It's a session night as well so if you want you should get the chance to a song or two. Dunfermline Folk Club meets at The Thistle Tavern, Baldridgeburn, Dunfermline. Put the address into google map and you'll get directions.
Just to let you know that I'll be playing one of your tracks in my next podcast which I'll be releasing this coming Friday. I'll play your other track in a couple of weeks time or so.

Cute tunes again. I love them!. And hey - a song as well. Thank you very much for sharing. I hope you're well. I did not forget that I owe you an answer/comment on Guitar Dharma ... still working on life's drama instead of dharma *laughs* Have a good year's end.
