Sandi Thom/Earl Thomas/Rott & Scandall Update

December 13, 2008

Well, 2008 is almost finished and I'm back in Canada for the holiday season. I'm in Northern Ontario right now with the rest of the Wiber clan and suffering through 3 feet of snow in -25 degrees! I'll take overcast with rain any day!

I'll be doing two gigs with Sandi this new years eve, one in Aberdeen for the anual Castlegait Street party alongside Amy McDonald, then jetting down to Edinburgh to close the BBC's "Live from The Castle" celebrations. Should be a great night, if your around pop down!



The debut album from Earl Thomas with Paddy Milner & The Big Sounds is now available to order through CDbaby.com! They will ship anywhere in the world, so if you'd like a copy just click HERE!



I am also pleased to announce the release of my comedy project "Rott & Scandall"'s first EP "N'alright!". Packed with colonial sillieness, it tracks the journey of one Canadian & one American as they arrive in the UK for the first time. You can check us out on MySpace by clicking HERE.

I wish you all a wonderful holiday season, and all the best in 2009!
