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”.

It is the 1st of September, and today we release a 5 track EP/CD of folk songs by David Clifton. Gentle acoustic songs, along with a lively mandolin instrumental. Head on over to his page and have a listen.

In other news, Ellice is completing the last few vocal harmony parts for her new EP, and once everything is finished it will be mixed by Nick Fisher. It’s due for release later in the autumn. Watch this space!

Gabriel Osborne, our trusty Publishing & Registrations Admin. manager will soon be back in town. If you have sent him an enquiry or message regarding library music opportunities & have not yet received a reply, please be patient and he’ll be in touch with you soon.

And finally. Rest in peace Hal David, inspirational lyricist, who died today.

…..the Autumn winds blow chilly and cold. But not just at the moment; it is warm and sunny in England for a change, and warmer and sunnier still in Tennessee.

The Little Room team have packed away their buckets, spades, towels and sandy beachwear, and are getting down to business. Preparations are underway for the release of the new EP from David Clifton, titled Old Sea Road, on September 1st. It will also be available in CD format as well as digital download from iTunes and leading digital stores worldwide.

In other news, music from The LR Library has recently been featured on two national USA television channels, and a new Library Music album will soon be ready for all you Commissioning Music Editors to listen to and download from Auralation. Also, finishing touches are currently being put to Ellice’s EP, which is due for release later on in the Autumn.

Special thanks to all of you for visiting us here at Little Room.
