Brandy 'N' Port: News

Well, another new year is upon us...., here's to a great 2011. We're excited to be entering 2011 armed with our new CD, Kiss Me I'm Irish. We have had some interest in BNP from Southern Ontario & a few more local festivals so watch our calendar for some hopeful new venues!

It is with great sadness we say goodbye to Madi Kelly who passed away New Years Day, with Paddy by her side. So many great memories of growing up with all the Kelly's & Madi as Paddy's biggest fan! RIP.

Alec & I will be heading back to Ireland in May for some more new material, yes it will be all business! We hope there is no volcano in Iceland this year!!

Hope to see you all at a gig real soon!

August already....where does the time go! We've had a great summer with the Games, Kaleidoscope Gathering, The Family Ball Tournament Banquet, the Weddings & the Pubs!

The new CD is now in the mixing stage....:) Just a few short weeks away! We've had a great time with Beth & Aine visiting from Derry Ireland, they haven't missed a gig!

We'll be planning our CD release party once we know when it will be available....!

Thank you all for your continued support, bring on the fall!

Alec, Al & I are extremely excited to announce that Seamus Costello is now back in the fold as a member of Brandy 'N' Port.
We celebrated our first show together as a four peice, in Kingston & had a great evening at the year end show for The Connemara School of Irish Dance. I'm not sure we should have celebrated so extensively the night before the gig, but it went great & it was great to see some old friends!
Come on out & hear the new sound as soon as you can.

We begin a new century with Brandy 'N' Port. We had a great 2009, we hope your year was as successful as ours. We are looking forward to a fantastic 2010. Alec & I will be doing some material research & a bit of singing as we tour Ireland in April.
We are far too young to mention that our gig at the Heart & Crown in January has BNP performing in our third decade....WOW!
Well, we'll just keep riding the wave & hope to see you at one of our upcoming gigs in 2010.
Slainte.

The Games in Maxville have come & gone for another year & a great time was had by all...We will be adding some new photo's from the games soon. Please check our calendar for upcoming gigs. We are excited to be finally starting work on our new CD. Also watch for some great BNP merchandise coming soon...just in time for Christmas! Drop us a line in the guestbook & say hello...

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our good friend Jackie Smith, of the Brigadoons. Jackie passed away on Oct 23rd & leaves us with many great memories, dating all the way back to his days with the Dorney Express & then the Brigadoons. We were very fortunate to have shared the stage in a group sing along at the '08 Highland Games & will cherish that & all our memories of a great & talented man.

Yes there is a rumour a new CD may be in the works...we will keep you informed...
