If you didn't see them open the Alternative stage at the CRF on Saturday you missed one of the best (relatively) unknown bands I've seen for ages. Do
yourself a favour and go and get the album (from the band) - www.emerald-sky.com - they were superb. If you like BTR
and indeed BS in general I can't see how you could fail to like the album... not often I find a band worth raving about but... They're based around
Cambridge and their gigs are all there at tyhe moment although they've got a couple at Camden Underworld somehow (supporting perhaps? I'll have to ask
them).

Sorry Trevor, but I found the album very ordinary. They do nothing that stands out, although I have heard much worse being touted as top class. Mind you they
look very nice.

Hhhmmm. I'm a bit surprised but nevermind. I have to say that it took me 2 or 3 listens to really appreciate it although I especially like track 9, and 5
and 10. They are much more instantly accessable live - at least I thought so.

Someone might want to clue them in that their website is infected with Malware - at least that's what my installations of Chrome and Firefox are telling
me. Consequently I've yet to see/hear what all the fuss is about!

Thanks Dave, message duly passed on. What problem is it causing you as I'm having no problem at all. Which means McAfee is OK with it...

Even with a fully updated antivirus program running and numerous firewall safeties engaged, I'm still a little gunshy!

Any idea what it found that it doesn't like?

I had the same problem Dave, but we are set up so that we can't look at the site at all.

Thanks Dave.
They're all currently away in London I think but I've emailed this to them. Cheers, Trevor "We don't need to know the answers to hope and pray for peace" |

First thing - the web site is hopefully now sorted out... if anyone knows otherwise please let me know!
More importantly, Emerald Sky are supporting Breathing Space at Birmingham Roadhouse on Sunday 20th September! "We don't need to know the answers to hope and pray for peace" |

Well - I hope you liked it... But give it more than one listen as everyone seems to like it more second time. And third...! And it's better with decent
hifi too!
