Happy New Year from all at Ballagroove

Hi everyone, hope your Xmas and New Year was as fun as ours!
Highlight had to be the Tholtan Builders gig down at the Bay Port St Mary, talk about busy!!! The band were wonderful as ever and a great night was had by all.
Low point of course was the Tsunami 🙁 We’ve put up a download of one of Rhysical Pheck’s tracks entitled Kanyakumari (from the The Little People Album), the track is written about the place of the same name which is at the Southern tip of India which has been visited in the past by Gypo and Kin from the band, sadly hundreds of people were killed at this deeply spiritual place, just one of the many, many tragedies, if you download the track and you like it then please make a donation the next time you see a collection box, a drop in the ocean but every little helps.
New Year should see a scutch of new releases including the debut album from ‘ingie which we’re all dead excited about as its sounding great, also maybe this year Rhysical Pheck and Cocahiba will finally get round to releasing their new albums :-), and expect the second Black Label compilation soon(ish)!
Finally, a quick plug for our chums over at Rotten Planet who have just released a classy 12″ single including tracks by Asthmatic Kid and Scope, which can be bought from the Rotten Planet Website. You can preview the tracks on the site, too, cool stuff indeed!
Best wishes to all for a peaceful and music filled New Year, Blein Vie Noa!!

Calm after the storm!

Hi, just a quick post to say thanks to everybody who came to the Chris T-T / Timothy Victor gig on Friday, was a really enjoyable evening, great to see lots of friendly faces! Many thanks to all who helped out with the gig, as ever your help is much appreciated.
The day got off to a bit of a panic when it looked like the gig might get pulled, but a few panics later everything came together nicely and it all helped to make it a night to remember. Chris and Tim really enjoyed the gig and loved the Island, so hopefully we may see them back in the future. We’ll be posting up some pictures and hopefully some MP3’s from the gig in the not to distant future.
Congratulations to Mel for winning the otter, thanks to everbody who bought raffle tickets: the raffle raised
