Prince & his new band 3rd Eye Girl performing cover of 'Liathach'

Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:21:00 +0100

Some amazing news we’re still reeling from over here in the UK.

Apparently Prince and his new all-girl backing band 3rd Eye Girl are performing an instrumental cover of Liathach from Gown on their current US/Canada tour.

An astounded Jo wouldn’t believe this news for a full 12 hours until we finally found a review confirming it, and even now keeps murmuring the occasional ‘no way’.

Tour dates are here. Here’s the setlist from one of the shows.

2 for 1 winter sale extended.

Hello everyone.

The artwork frames for Patrons have finally arrived after a long journey. Aren’t they lovely! They go well with a mulled wine ;).

After Christmas I’ll be starting to record the successor to Gown.

If you’d like to help, have your name on the credits and receive one of these frames, please consider becoming a Patron - or gifting a Patronage to someone else.. and we’ll send you a signed one, all wrapped up for Christmas stockings.
