SofaSession #6 was held at the Shurr household, not only did we have a rather fabulous guest in the form of one Mr Seamus Mcloughlin, we also had Pizza, Hotdogs and beer laid out for us, courtesy of the Shurr's - this is one luxury I, for one, could get used too.
So, on with the night. David Shurr previewed his new four track E.P "Volume 1", and judging from the twitter response - it was very well recieved, so much so, Dave felt the need to treat the viewers with a very long look at the CD cover... blatant advertising there mate!! If you fancy buying a copy of Dave's E.P you can find the details here : David Shurr's new E.P.
Not to be out done, Jamie Brewer also has a new CD out, after months and months and months..( you get the picture) of promising and the rest of the North nagging - he finally went and did it, a whole CD of 9 songs. The Album "No good with words" is available here: Jamie Brewer's new Album.
Bill Orrick, Tom Metcalf, Mike Dignam and Baxter Rhodes all performed great sets, Baxter told us he will be releasing a recording soon ( we hope it's not going to be another Brewer and take forever!) Bill got a new nickname from a twitter watcher, he will now be known as the "Orrical".
We also had our special guest of the week - Seamus Mcloughlin, Seamus hails from Preston, he told us of his various travels around the world, and announced that he was flying out to Seattle the following week to record. He was very well received by our viewers and gained himself some new fans, especially one youngster, who's Uncle tweeted in telling us he had fallen asleep whilst listening to his soothing vocals.Bless.
Next week, we have a very special guest all the way from L.A - Weather theMusic is around for a few more weeks, and is then jetting off back to the states, we are very happy that she has made us one of her last performances in England.
Big thanks must also go to Jon Shurr, who is always on hand to help with technical things and Tom Wolfenden and Tracy Leach who take amazing photo's of us all. Next week (12th September) we are at Baxter's abode - you have a lot to live up to Baxter... food wise !!
