It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to put ur hands on these prints so don't miss it!
You can contact David at davidcleary@davidclearyart.com or hit him up on his MySpace site [we highly recommend u to check out the photo section of that site if you are over there;O)...].

Nov 12, 03:21 PMCraig Ferguson appearance to be re-scheduledHi all.
Apologies to all those fans who stayed up late yesterday to watch The Swell Season perform on Craig Ferguson. Unfortunately one of the interviews went on a bit longer and the channel couldn't fit the musical performance into the program. CBS, Craig and his team have been great with sorting out a new airing date to make sure that you all get to see the band on the show.
As soon as we have the date and the time we will let you know. Till then we hope you'll enjoy this video from the Philly gig.xxx

We have fab water bottles and scraves too at the gigs guys (see below).They are available at the merch booth each night on tour (very limited quantities!) and they are escaping our stock very quickly...so, if you 'fell in love' with them then make sure to grab one - or two:o) - at the next gig because we might not have left any for the webstore after the tour finishes.
