Red Bird Sky performed at The Station Pub in Kings Heath, Birmingham on Friday, 16.03.12 in a fundraiser event for Volunteer Services Overseas.

Way to go!

In addition they hosted a well attended, participative workshop entitled - 'Saying "Hello" to the Cruel World: Embracing difficult issues in songwriting' , using the works of Gretchen Peters, Mary Gauthier and Katy Boyd, alongside some of their own tracks, to illustrate how songwriters can tackle even the hardest of issues and transform these experiences into songs!

Red Bird Sky's trip to Canada, in October, 2011, saw them performing in a mini-tour of the East coast which took in venues in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island before settling down to record ten tracks for their first album. The Shell Lane Studios in Malpeque Bay, P.E.I. Canada was their base for ten busy days of recording with Paul Milner (Producer), the great Dan Cutrona (on Keyboards and witticisms!) and stunning, local P.E.I. musicians Gordie MacKeeman (Fiddle) and James Phillips (Mandolin) adding a rainbow of musical colours! Mike put down all the guitar tracks and added bowed Bass to a number of the tracks. Now it's the eager anticipation and dreaded wait to hear the full, finished product!
