We had a terrific time in our hometown officially launching both the Heart of Wire album and the As She Goes By single in the UK.  It was great to see such a crowd for our Heart of Wire intensive set which also spanned 10 years of lorna music.   August Actually and The Amber Herd were both sublime and were excellent guests of ours.

The week also saw As She Goes By receive airplay on Amazing Radio, Trent Sound, Irvine FM, WMBR 88.1fm, Nusic and BBC Radio Nottingham.  Matt joined Alan Clifford for an interview online and Mark, Sharon and Rein joined Dean Jackson on Saturday night for BBC East Midlands Introducing.   The single is available now on iTunes.

We are currently booking shows for the Autumn,  the first confirmed show is on September 28th at The Hairy Dog in Derby with the super Dutch Barn who have just released their ‘Lighter Later’ album.   We are also hoping to schedule in a stripped down show in Los Angeles in August with our label mates Coastal!    We are also commencing work on a fifth album.

Finally, we have launched two new shirts for 2013.  Both are available in our store

Lorna will be releasing a single edit of As She Goes By on iTunes on April 29th to co-incide with the release of Heart of Wire. Also included on the single is new mix of the song Kuskova.   To help us get this single play-listed in as many stations as possible, please get in touch with local independent radio show/dj’s and tell them about it.  The single can be streamed from www.soundcloud.com/lornauk/as-she-goes-by-radio-edit

Heart of Wire is now available all in all good US stores and online retailers.  The album is also available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Barnes and Noble and directly from Words On Music.  The UK release date will follow on April 22nd with a UK single round about the same time.

We played our last show of the summer show last weekend previewing songs from Heart Of Wire.  The sun was blazing down in Nottingham as we played in the 100 year old bandstand by the river to a lovely gathering.

 

Lorna are to continue their promotion of the forthcoming “Heart Of Wire’ album with a free outdoor show this Sunday in Nottingham.   They will be playing on the embankment area of the City mid-afternoon in a special show that is happening through the UK to mark the end of Olympics/Paralympics in the UK.

Opening for The Psychedlic Furs was a fantastic experience for us.  We had a wonderful night and were very gratefully appreciated and met a lot of lovely people.   We move onto Sheffield for our next show on Sunday 22nd July, full details in the shows section.   Our new album ‘Heart Of Wire’ is due to be mastered this month for an Autumn release.
