New Year, New stuff – youtube, spotify & tour pix

Wishing you a very warm – if rather snowy – welcome to 2010! Whilst things may have been a bit quiet since before Christmas, there’s been lots of beavering away behind the scenes to bring you some new bits ‘n bobs…

Tour pix

Nathan’s Winter Wanderings tour of the UK was a big success – with lots of friendly faces (new and old) coming out to hear him play. Thanks to all of you who came down and made for a very special first ever tour. We’ve put a few photos of the gigs up on the gallery page at www.nathanball.com/gallery/winter-wanderings

Christmas in the studio & New You Tube video

After a couple of months on the road, Nathan travelled over to Ireland and spent much of Christmas in the studio recording as many songs as possible! By 1 Jan 2010, he’d recorded over 30 songs to help him decide on the final few that will appear on his debut album, to be released in the Spring.

To give you a taste of what’ll be on the album, some good friends have made a first attempt at a music video of one of Nathan’s most recent – and most relevant – songs ‘Stand Up’. You can view the video at: www.nathanball.com/gallery or on youtube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWUCgQb2QY4

Nathan adapted the lyrics for ‘Stand Up’ from a Winston Churchill speech – both the song lyrics and the text of the original speech can be found on the lyrics page at: http://www.nathanball.com/stand-up

Nathan Ball on Spotify

With so many people listening to their favorite artists on spotify, we figured it was about time we made Nathan’s Footprints EP available there too. Check out www.spotify.com if you haven’t already and please let your spotify-loving friends know they can now hear Nathan there for free!

Debut album

Come February, Nathan’ll be back over to Ireland to record his debut album with the rest of the band. He’ll be helped along by record producers Tom Newman (Tubular Bells/Virgin Records) and Steve Fearnley. Check the website and watch this space for sneak previews of recordings and the latest news from the studio…

Until then… stay warm!
