Katie packed up her Clarsach and her suitcase, and travelled across the world to begin recording a new five track EP in the USA, which is due for release early March. It will feature songs from around the world in three different languages, Chinese, French and Spanish, as well as a new instrumental for harp and guitar. She begins a series of concerts in the Far East later this month, and the venue details can be found on her web-site. www.kt-a.com

Greetings from the lands of snow…USA and Great Britain!                                                                                  News so far…….  The Ikos Christmas album was featured on BBC Radio 2 by Paul O’Grady on his Christmas Day morning show, with Away In A Manger gracing the festive nations airwaves at 11.15 a.m. Thank you to all those who sent us messages. We hope the album will continue to fulfill Tom Lennie’s prediction that it will remain an annual household favourite.

Andy Piercy and David Clifton made a rare concert appearance at Trinity College Pittsburgh, USA on January 18th.

Katie Targett Adams flies to the USA at the end of the month to begin working on a new EP of songs prior to her concert dates in Beijing and Hong Kong.

We hope that your year has begun well, and wish you all the best for a happy year ahead.   The Little Room Team.

A very Happy Christmas to you all. Peace on earth and goodwill to all people. We’ve been out and about having festive fun. Gabriel has been lending his musical talents to a fabulous Christmas show at the Smoky Mountain Opry, David has been organising carol services, and Preston has been helping with the sheet music plans. We are determined to enjoy the full Twelve Days Of Christmas, despite the rest of the world rushing headlong into sales, work, and thinking about the gloomy bits of 2012. We hope you are all enjoying these twelve wonderful days with your family and friends.

November…. The Autumn is well and truly here. The Fall, if you live in the USA. And the leaves that are green turn to brown. And to orange, red, yellow and gold.

Attention everyone in the Herefordshire area! Ellice is playing a gig with XL5 backing her for the show. She will be appearing at Foodfest on the 27th of October. See local press and publicity for timings and details.

Ellice says, “I’m really excited about the Foodfest as it’s my first ever performance fronting a (fantastic!) live band (thank you SOOO much XL5 !!) My set will be a mix of originals and covers. My first free download single release, “I Wanted To Believe You” can be downloaded here on my page at Little Room, and the video is on YouTube. This is a thrilling time; I’m recording my new  EP and working with such a great team of people – David Clifton at Little Room Recordings, Paul Kingston (songwriter), Nick Fisher (mastering genius!!) and Dave G, Tom, Clive, Vinnie and Dave R of XL5. I look forward to a great show and seeing everyone on October 27th. Luv, Ellice”.
