The Ghost Moon Orchestra….first listen party..
Well…thank you so much to everyone who came last Saturday, it was so uplifting to hear your response first hand and the feedback was amazing. It was great to meet everyone, friends old and new.
The acoustic set seemed to go down well too, unfortunately, as you may have heard, three of the band had literally been flat on their backs in bed with a bug for the previous week and a half so the final version of A Weather For Poets was not able to be performed. Fear not though, some of the set played will certainly be on there, as well as some new material. It will be finalised this week and we still hope to meet the early to mid June release date of the special edition – we’ll keep you posted.
Meanwhile – there are still some copies available to pre-order at Mostly Autumn Records …
Thank you again for your support..

A fantastic and very special evening; the album sounded great. Thanks for the explanantion about the accoustic set; I was surprised at the lack of any new material. Having said that, I loved the stuff you did play.
Thanks again and hope everyone is fully recovered from the bug now.

Saturday was one of those rare but incredibly fulfilling evenings. To be one of the lucky 200 as part of the Mostly Autumn family was a beautiful feeling and experience. I met some lovely new friends and everyone I spoke to enjoyed the refreshing acoustic set (would be nice to see a little more often) and then anticipation finally quenched by the fabulous new album. Strange to applaud but we all felt it deserved it. so nice to meet and chat with you all and your immediate family members. Like all who attended and of course those who were not lucky enough, we all await the issue of this most incredible and magnificent album. Thank you for such a memorable evening.

Thanks for another magical evening. We love our little sojourns to York. First impressions are that the new CD sounds more of a thematic whole , at least musically , and a move towards a new MA more than Diamond Heart. The acoustic set will prob be quite different as you said you hadnt recorded it yet.
It was a pleasure to catch up and chat to the extended Mostly Autmn family till chucking out time Regards to you all . All this and a taxi home with the lovely Becky ( well us to our hotel )
Keep the faith and we will , see you at the Sage or maybe Cambridge if I can convince certain people
Your friends from slightly further up North , John and Jan

Firstly to Nigel, I am that chap from Newbury and enjoyed meeting you and the other chap from Loughborough whose name I didn’t catch. Looking foward to catching up at the O2 Islington in September.
As for the evening itself it was an absolute privilege to be part of it. Thank you MA. Great accoustic set which was only bettered the first listening of the Ghost Moon Orchestra CD. I think it will go on to be one of those career defining albums, and rightly so. Congratulations on the album and I can’t wait to receive my copy.

I was late arriving Saturday, and didn’t get the artwork/ album listing that everyone was hanging on to, at the very end I thought I’d ask Brian if there were any left and he went over to his table and fetched one back with him, I think it was his Mum’s So if it was thanks Brian’s Mum.
