Altan on the road again with JigTime in tow!
We are now just one week away from the Altan USA Fall Tour 2004. Once again your Jigtime host wil be on board as the tour manager for my dear old friends. I cant wait but while I am forced to Altan themselves are locked in a Dublin recording studio making thier new album. So far I have only heard unmixed snippets but even those have the energy and imagination you have come to expect from this talented bunch. We have also launched the new Altan Newsletter which will arrive in your mailbox every once in a while with news and exclusive pictures from wherever we are in the world. See you all out there on the road.
