Earlier this year, Wild Turkey reformed after a 10 year break with a new line up that in addition to several original members sees Glenn Cornick once more link up with legendary Jethro Tull drummer Clive Bunker. Wild Turkey have now released a brand new studio album which has been featured in their recent UK tour - see their website at www.myspace.com/glenncornickswildturkey Negotions have already taken place with Turkey's management for Cold Flame to support Glenn and his band on some dates on their Spring 2007 UK Tour.

TULL TRIBUTE SHOWS
A huge Thank You goes out to everyone who came along back in July to check out and support the band's Jethro Tull tribute shows.The response received was truly tremendous and the band have been very encouraged by the continuing positive feedback received.Admittedly numbers were down on a couple of shows but summer hols, the continuing heatwave and the after effects of the World Cup didnt help our cause. During the last few weeks several 'new' classic Tull tracks have been rehearsed by the guys and some if not all of these will be appearing during this Autumn's gig schedule.Check the band gig guide for further details especially now that it has been corrected and updated. Fingers crossed !

NEW ALBUMS
Cold Flame released a brand new studio compilation album - Still Burning the Blues Vol 2 - of previously unreleased original material back in July. The feedback following this release has been great and again this is something that the band is very pleased with. Good job as with whatever spare time can be found over the next couple of months, the band individually and collectively will be hard at work on remastered rereleases, new acoustic and electric studio material and live recordings. It is difficult at the moment to predict which projects will be completed first but rest assured you will be the first to know and we can guarantee there will be something new to buy before Xmas.
Work is well under way recording tracks for a Cold Flame Acoustic studio album featuring Davyd, Patrick, Paul and Robert. This is being recorded using the Cold Flame mobile equipment mainly at Cold Flame HQ. Meanwhile Cold Flame Acoustic are available for all manner of private functions with weddings a speciality. Contact info@cold-flame.co.uk for all enquiries.
