Secret CDs – 6 May 2009

The eighteenth Secret CDs night will be on Wednesday 6th May 2009 from
7.30-10.30 p.m. I hope you can come along to the intimate, friendly
surroundings of Secret CDs home in The Phoenix cellar bar in Edinburgh’s
Broughton Street.

The big news is that top local songwriter and chanteuse *Hannah O’Reilly -*
www.hannahoreilly.com* -* will be using the evening to launch her
long-awaited new CD ‘Stiletto’. Secret CDs is very excited about this, and
we feel very honoured that the mighty Hannah has chosen our humble night for
the occasion.

In the unlikely event that this news is not enough to entice you, the three
other acts on the bill will almost certainly convince you that this is the
place to be:

– *The Beggar Girls* are a 4 piece all female band playing and singing
traditional tunes and songs form Eastern Europe, France, England and some
original material. They live in the Scottish Borders. Website:

– *Andi Neate* has released five albums, including her most recent studio
recording, Crows, Rooks and Ravens (2009). Recorded over a year in
Edinburgh and Bath, the production ranges from songs with the full band
treatment (Storm Crow, Too Busy Playing God), with strings, brass and
backing vocals, to pared back emotive solo voice and guitar. Website:

– *Little Pebble *is a member of the Fence Collective, and will showcase
his 5 track e.p. ‘Irish Winter’ which comes in a handmade case made from
sugar paper – so you can eat it if you want. Website:

All four featured acts will play highlights from their respective CDs, which
will be sold on the night. Door entry will be £2.
