Just a few sleeps to go
December 22, 2000    8:17 am GMT

Howdy campers.

Well, it's just a few (very) short days until Christmas and all that goes with it....

So Season's Greetings to you all, and we look forward to seeing you in the Year 2001 (the REAL millennium as Gary would like to remind everyone).

Next year we'll be recording some of the new material as well as getting out and about across the nation(s).

So stay fresh and smelling sweet.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Clive, Gary, Rik & Andy

Peace Out

...but I guess you probably knew that.

A wee update to let you know that we are offering you the chance to get a hold of "one" for only £10.99 (incl. postage & packaging)!

ALl you need to do is send us a cheque payable to "IndigoEcho Trust" for the total number of CDs that you are after (remember all your cousins, aunties and uncles are probably closet rockers too...) and send it to this address:
IndigoEcho Trust
1 Quality Street
Davidsons Mains
Edinburgh

For every order over 3 CDs, we'll even send you a FREE A3 poster. Now that's gotta be a bargain!

Greetings!

It's been a while since I've updated the newspage, so here is a wee bit of chat IE side. First of all, our apologies to those of you expecting us to have been touring in England last weekend. It just didn't come off....but anyway, here is some fresh news:

Gary is firing on all cylinders after his time on the bench when IE were up north....so that can only be a good thing!

Rik has got himself a new "Rik 1"...and it's not Black (for those of you a bit bemused at that, Rik has got a new guitar!)

Clive is on his way back from Shetland where he's been taking IE to the islands - which was fun!

Andy is getting his head round some new toys as IE think about a new demo tape and all that kinda stuff.


You'll all be pleased to know that we've been working on a stack of new songs for our gigs in December - King Tut's on 6 and PowerPoint Edinburgh on 10. SO...get yourselves along to those gigs for the last IE tastings of the year."

Well, for those of you in the know, last weekend was a bit of a stormer.

Hearts won, Liverpool got beat and IE played a rocking weekend tour with substitute bass-player Ian Wintour coming off the bench to put in a solid performance.

Gary had to stay at home, so Ian came along and had the time of his life..."freestyle" in the words of CP.

Aeiris were also on tour with us this time and they were TOP quality.

We played for the first time in Peterhead...what a crowd. Big Up to them for the crowd surfing and splendid singing.

Two new songs were tried out on the tour and both hit home in different ways.

So bring on King Tut's and all the other things in between.

Well we have made it back from Greenbelt intact - which is always a good thing.

Once again, Radio Greenbelt carried the sounds of IndigoEcho - with tracks from the album and a live acoustic appearance. A good time was had by all at our main gig with the Mighty Quinn giving us the kind of sound you like to hear!

We are really looking forward to the next few months with plenty of gigs and a chance for us to meet up with you all again.

So peace out and keep it real.

The Chef.

Greetings IE watchers.

For those of you on your first visit to the site, this page should give you the most up-to-date info that there is to find on IndigoEcho.

We had a great time yesterday playing two gigs in Edinburgh. The first was broadcast live in Covent Garden, London and Times Square New York as well as on the Internet - so that was fun.

It was a good chance to spread the IE sound to some new faces.

The Room 3 @ the festival gig was great.

We had a great time and made some new friends too...which is always nice!

Well, our next stop is Greenbelt Festival in Cheltenham - 25 -> 27 August, so get yourself a minibus, tent and some sleeping bags and come along for the ride!

See you on the other side!

The Chef

Not only are Indigoecho playing at the Edinburgh festival today but they have negotiated some air time on a massive stage bang in the centre of Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens.

This stage is located right in the centre of the city - has two giant video screens and everything is broadcast live on the web and to a satellite locations in Covent Garden, London and Times Square, New York!

They will be playing at 5pm just as everyone is leaving the office from work which is a pretty top time... so if you are in Edinburgh, London, New York or just stuck behind your computer, please come along and give them a yell! The Website is www.worldart.com.
