Sweeping Update

Sept 12, 2008



Song Writing

Although Tu's original repertoire spanned enough material for an LP over a year ago, creative juices have continued to flow. Both Carolyn and Shani have been busy writing and working on new songs, such as Truth Between Sisters, Sister Sin, Breaking and Long Road. Some of these have been swinging in the pair's troubled gig ring.

Gigging?!

Time has been fleeing the creative duo, but when gigs are booked, it seems Tu are plagued with a bout of bad luck: during the Annual Red Lion Folk day Carolyn came down with a bad case of Laryngitis, rendering her incapable of singing.
This didn't stop the two from showcasing their songs successfully (alongside Baz, who jammed on the snare drum) and bagging a performance invite for the opening of the Autumn Season Showcase evening at the prestigious High Barn venue in Essex; only to have Shani injure her guitar-playing hand while cooking the night before the show...
To add sort-of-an-insult to injury, Tu had to decline a floor spot at the fantastic Milkmaid Folk Club in Bury St. Edmunds due to working commitments.

The duo is adamant to gig as much as possible, or - if the fates won't have that - sit tight and wait for 2008 to roll out and return rejuvenated in 2009...

Please visit the Gigs page to check out some of the venues and go out to have a lovely night of original music!

Recording

In June Shani and Carolyn went into excellent-yet-very-reasonably-priced SoundBase Studios in Hitchin to lay some tracks, having found a wonderful recording studio and a well tuned technician. Sadly, the technician has decided to fulfil a life-long dream, and shortly after the one-day recording session moved on to work at an astrophysics research facility in mainland Europe.

Back at square one in terms of recording, then! If you have a studio to recommend, please let us know!

Testing...testing...

Feb 7, 2007

Tu are currently spending time recording their material for their first CD, due for release summer 2007. Though unsigned at present, this self-produced album will be their launch-pad to get more gigs throughout the UK and Europe. Plans are also afoot for a tour in the US and enquiries from festivals, clubs, fringe events and arts centres are most welcome.
