Hi Folks

Blueflint have a lot of news for you..its an exciting year for us with lots going on.

New CD- "High Bright Morning."

The CD is nearing completion and is sounding great! We are back in the recording studio with producer Jim Sutherland to finish off a couple of songs. It has been a real pleasure working with everyone who has been involved and we are very excited about releasing it.

Artist Chis Biddlecome has been working on the artwork for the CD. Chris has worked as an independent artist for the last 20 years and has exhibited his mixed media constructions throughout the UK and internationally. We have worked with him in the past in a collaboration for 'Cabin Exchange.' For the design of the CD he has come up with something really special.

The CD will be released on the 30th September; free downloads of a couple of the new tracks from the CD will be made available from the Blueflint website/ myspace site shortly.
