I am SO excited too to find out about the new line up, the new cd and gosh...a documentary! That is BRILLIANT!! Clann An Druma is such a personal thing for Joe it seems. This must be a very trying time...I hope he knows how much he is supported though....now...if we can convince him to bring the new CAD a bit further west.... ...what do ya think Rindy??? Someplace west of the Mississippi?? Have a great day you guys!

[Rindy]

Y'all will probably think I am weird, but I had an odd feeling for a quite awhile that there was something brewing in the pot of this band's possible break-up. I don't know how to explain it but I just rather felt it. Being a daughter of a professional musician I saw it happen many times and while sad at the time, good things always comes out of it at the end. I am sad to see it happen to CAD but hope we get two great bands out of one. I am sure good things are in store for us in the future!

To be continued, eh?

I had this feeling also. Just by the way the band had been acting at gfm. They just didn't stick together like they had in the past. Kind of like when Tu and Davey left.
Tu-bard was just kind of by himself. During the show at Glasgow. So sad that things like this happen. But I guess that is what like is about. You just have to move on.
Well now we just have to see what the 2 bands are like. I will love both bands.

Here is the latest update from Joe Mackenzie -its getting close....



Hi all,am a bit dazed at the moment as last night the power from the drumming blew me away, i am getting realy exited at the sound that is coming out just now, our spines where tingling and that has to be a sighn of whats to come, the new tunes are reflecting a sense of freedom of expression that i needed to get out of my system i think you will be surprised when you hear the mackenzie unleashed and free to roam in the tribal world, i cant wait to play live for you and i will relish the feedback as i know i will get an honest responce from the clann an drumma tribe, will be posting the pics anytime now and will let you know the release date of the new cd asap, to you all be of good health, and remember KEEP IT TRIBAL,slainte joe.

Wow! Thanks so much, Rindy. I confess I have not been keeping up with CAD/Albannach so this is good news that Tu Bardh will be joining Joe in CAD. I always did like him and thought he added much to the band.

[ArizonaAmy9]

Howdy...meant to pop in & ask Rindy...Joe must be working on the website revamp he was telling us about eh? I can't get in so figured it must be that. I can't wait to see the new faces. They are all new to me since I've never seen them. Having heard so much about Tu though...now I really wish I could see them live. Will be great when the new cd and even better...the dvd come out! Wish it was in time for Christmas though! Oh well...as Joe said...patience....
