First of all: a big THANK YOU to everyone present at Drukkerij Pascal last Saturday. We’ve had an amazing evening and were really happy to celebrate the release of “Time Well Spent” with you guys. Thanks y’all!

Second, we would like to tell you about the unique online videorelease of “Time Well Spent”. Our friends Vincent Perdijk and Bram Kok captured the live recordings in Antwerp this summer and made them into a complete video-E.P. that is now released on the web.

If you've got any pictures or videos of the evening of the EPrelease we would be very happy to receive them.

Though the summer has treated us well with the recording of our new EP, rehearsals in the sun and some (well-deserved) holidays, we’re very happy to be playing live again next week. We’re starting the new season pretty intense with the dates listed below. To add to the festivities of the release of “Time Well Spent” and playing all these shows, our friends from the UK, Head of Programmes, are joining us for the week.

This awesome little van is going to bring us all over the place, so there’s no excuse not to join us too on one of these occasions:

Friday 10th September at Cafe de Flierefluiter in Apeldoorn.
Saturday 11th September daytime: Festival aan de Springweg in Utrecht. We are playing at 11.00 am and 14.30 pm.
Sunday 12th September in the afternoon at the Intercultureel Theehuis/Kargadoor in Utrecht and in the evening at Cafe Lokaal Vredebreuk in Den Haag.
Monday 13th September in Amsterdam at Cafe Dwaze Zaken from 21.30.

If you wish to attend to our EP presentation/party on 11th September please send an email and we’ll tell you if we’re able to save you a seat.

Hope to see you soon!

Rolof, Tim, Pete & Anna

Done and dusted – New live cd in the making

Posted on July 20, 2010 | Leave a comment

We are just back from Antwerpen, Belgium, where we have recorded our new live cd “Time well spent”. It was a long, tiring and worthwhile 3 days with Peter Acoustic. We recorded 5 new songs in a beautiful old studio in the middle of the city. Recording live was something new for all of us and we are really excited about the outcome.

Once mixed, the songs will be heading to London to be mixed before we get the finished version sometime in August. They will be officially available from 12th September, featuring a new, beautiful drawing by Irish artist Laura Fitzgerald, who also kindly donated her work for our first cd “Builders & Artists” – our paths finallycross in September when we head back to Ireland for 5 shows.

We would also like to thank Bram and Vincent for coming along for the weekend to record the whole experience and we will be posting videos of the recording sessions in the coming weeks.

Enjoy the summer!

Summer Update

Posted on June 7, 2010 | Leave a comment

With the summer closing in, we wanted to give a quick update of how things are in the Goodwin Sands camp.

Recording – In between playing regularly in the last few months, we have been busy writing new songs for our new EP, which we will be recording in July in Antwerpen, Belgium. This will feature 6 new songs and will be a live recording – something new for all of us involved. We are very much looking forward to this experience.

Shows – To celebrate this release, we will be playing as much as possible in the Autumn and Winter, beginning with a short tour in the Netherlands with our English friends, Head of Programmes. In the middle of these dates will be our EP Release Show, in Drukkerij Pascal. This will be an invite only show but if you are interested in a ticket then please email us for details.

Westward Ho! – We have been invited to return to Ireland in September for the Clifden Arts Week and we will be heading westbound for 5 shows on the Emerald Isle between 16th and 20th September. All information can be found on our shows page on this very website.

Furthermore, we have two shows in June at Kargadoor, Utrecht (24th) and Skek, Amsterdam (26th).

Thanks for reading and we hope to see you at a show in near future.
