Aims for the Future

To get more bookings and maybe a residency in a local club.

We have started to write our own music and would welcome the opportunity of having them aired on the radio and produced in a recording studio.

We are also looking forward to spending more time in the recording studio and reaping rewards.

Fame and Fortune.

The Lion Hearts

We have both been very proud to actively take part in a major fund raising CD.

Raising a considerable amount of money for St Annes Hospice And Motor Neurone Disease.

This was a great experience and was lots of fun and we was proud to play with a bunch of very talented musicians performing concerts through out the region and the local community.

Linda Conneley invited us to become a part of this project in memory of her late husband and she has become a good personal friend to us both. Sample tracks from the CD can be heard on youtube and a small selection of photographs can be seen showing members of the band. Linda also has audio samples, photos, and videos on her My Space account.
