• Ian Whitty and the Exchange's new album ‘The Lucky Caller N° 9’ is scheduled for a September Release.

• ‘Houndstooth Shirt’ will be available for download from iTunes, eMusic and indiestore from April 18th 2008.

• ‘Houndstooth shirt’ has been playlisted on regional and college stations nationwide and spent over seven weeks on the RTE radio One playlist as well as receiving multiple plays on Today FM.

• Ian Whitty and The Exchange were recent winners of the Hotpress/Tisch video competition and had a video made for 'Not On Your Side'. The video is currently up on www.hotpress.com

• Ian Whitty And the Exchange recorded a live version of the Bruce Springsteen classic 'Atlantic City' for Alison Curtis' 'The Last Splash' on Today FM.

Praise for Ian Whitty And The Exchange:

'Just when you thought the one guy and a guitar formula was done… He is so much more! ~Alison Curtis, Today FM.

‘A set of such sterling quality you’d be forgiven for thinking he has a huge back catelogue of classics to call upon. It bodes well for his forthcoming album.’ ~Don O Mahony, The Evening Echo

‘One of the finest at his craft in the country.’ ~Ciaran Ryan, Cluas.com

‘Ian Whitty has managed to carve out a personality, a sense of identity and idiosyncrasy, which is becoming increasingly difficult to do within the Irish scene.’ ~Tanya Sweeney, Hot Press

‘It's this ability to turn a relatively simple subject into something especially his own that makes Whitty such a compelling performer, and nowhere is it more apparent than on his new single 'Houndstooth Shirt'.’ ~Tim Peacock, Whisperinandhollerin.com

‘Opening with a persuasive verse adorned by urgent strings and guitar it is immediately apparent that the Corkman is a writer with considerable inventiveness. With a utopian single like this Whitty has showcased his new album well. One to watch.’ ~Rob Mac Na Mara, Red Track Music.

‘Unleashed in September 2008, The Lucky Caller No. 9 promises to lengthen the breadth of the folk rock realm.’ ~Shilpa Ganatra, The Scene (Irish Daily Star).

‘Ian Whitty’s new stuff sounds bloody good!‘ ~Michael Carr, Cork’s 96fm - The Green Room

‘Not On Your Side is a great pop song, and we will be hearing a lot more from Ian Whitty‘ ~Alan Jacques, 95fm - Green and Live

‘I love it! It’s different and different works for me‘ ~Roddie Cleere, Irish Nightlife WLR FM

Hi Ian, like I said to you as I was walking toward the door at the IMRO show the other night, excellent stuff, I really enjoyed it. Didn't like the fact that the two bands before you were terrible but they were given rapt attention. Yet most people talked through your set.

What time are you on-stage on the 17th? I'm stuck doing something else the same night. I only live 30 seconds from the Roundy.
Argh!
