Yes! The rumors you hear are true. The Northamptones released their CD just this evening at The Iron Horse Music Hall. We were part of a wonderful bill including the Iron Horse debut for the NHS Chamber Choir (woot woot), The Impeachments (a community adult a cappella group), and the ever entertaining and timeless stylings of The Dadz.
Some thanks are in order:
Though she spent practically all night the recipient of thunderous rounds of applause, we must thank again our mind-blowing director, Beau Flahive. Her encouragement and constant dillegence as a thoughful and tenacious director have guided us through this monumental year.
Surely, he is hard at work on many other projects by now, or at least putting a dent in the hostess cupcakes we bought him, and we would like to graciously thank the resourceful and generous Wes Talbot. Wes made it possible for us to record in the first place and further extended his hospitality and technical know-how to our eager and shifting editing/mixing team of various group members. Man, he is good looking too.
A thanks to The Dadz for getting us involved in these NEF fundraisers and giving us a chance to play at a space like the Horse. More specifically a large thank you goes out to Peter Bigwood for his suprisingly entertaining schtick and multiple plugs for our CD.
Of course, we would be nowhere without the love and support of our biggest fans (yay parents!) and loyal friends who came tonight and to any/all of our other shows, you guys are why we keep performing!
Last but not least, a personal thank from myself to all my fellow members for making this the best year in the group yet for me. Everyone has put tremendous effort into whole days worth of practice time and many performances, more still to come!
Thanks again so much to all of you.
Your elated and humble typist,
Simon, and of course the entirety of the 'Tones
