We are to contribute a track to the charity fund-raising CD 'Caravan Morrison'. Proceeds from sale of the CD will go towards a new drop-in centre for the travelling community in Ballyhoo. We were originally toying with giving them 'Dinner Is Ready When The Smoke Alarm Goes Off', a track from our last album. We also thought it might be fun to tackle a cover version of the Christy Moore song 'We Don't Want Your Sort Round Here You're Barred'. But then the lads put their thinking caps on and decided to do a rush recording of a new version of the traditional hornpipe 'No I Don't Want Me Driveway Tarmacked'. It was great fun but hard work, and afterwards we were all well and truly knackered!
...everybody who helped us along the way, especially all the "mammys" and "daddys" who in the past paid for the music lessons, musical instruments etc, and Dr Patsey Casey of course for standing bail.

We are Ballyhoo's first musicians on the InterNet, pioneering a new technology called MP-3 to bring our music to an estimated potential audience of four billion people. We had to specially condense the tracks so that they take a shorter time to load down from the InterNet. People get frustrated if your songs take too long to load down, so they go off and load down something else, so we decided to record much shorter versions of our best known tunes for people to load down.
