New Album on Vinyl
Here at the Crow’s Nest we are celebrating 18 years together. We’ve been spending time reflecting on our crazy adventures. NoCrows have performed shows all over Europe and even picked up a prize for best concert in Ravensburg, Germany along the way. We’ve engaged audiences at some great big festivals including Glastonbury and Dranouter and small festivals along the way too. And we’ve managed to compose a body of tunes and songs which we are proud of.
So, this year we decided to treat ourselves to a well deserved guilty pleasure. We’ve made a vinyl album! Early in the year we put the word out among the faithful asking them to name their favourite recorded tracks. This new vinyl record is a compilation of eight of your favourites and for good measure we’ve added two previously unrecorded tracks: ‘Fearful Man’, Steve’s song, which has been a staple of live shows over the last few years and ‘The Grand Opening of 2020’ our tune written in anticipation of better days.
We could not have made it to our 18th Birthday without the help and support of a lot of people including family and friends and many kind and helpful people in the business. You know who you are. Thank You.
The New Vinyl is available now. You can have a copy by sending us €30 if you live in Ireland or €35 outside of Ireland. You can paypal or email us at nocrowsmusic@gmail.com and we will send you a copy. Don’t forget to include your postal address!
If you live in Sligo you can find a copy in Liber Books, O Connell Street or in The Record Room, Castle Street.
