January 2005
What a strange time the beginning of the year is. I am not yet done reflecting on the past adventures from the last 12 months, the journeys, songs and experiences we have shared together...when a new year is already here and underway. It is sort of sad letting the old year go, but the new one hold so much promise and hope that you can't help but be swept away into her unknown... with baited breath as to what new surprises she may hold for you... and so this year's adventures begin!

Thank you all for your beautiful cards and presents... Ritchie and I enjoyed reading your thoughts and sentiments for the holidays. We hope that you all had a toast and a cup of wassail as we did when we were thinking of all of you...
We have been busy writing the new songs for a new album. The music is beckoning us into the studio again and we will head in probably in February to record new music for you!

But for now, we are writing and preparing for our new tourdates on the west coast! It will be our first time out there as Blackmore's Night and we are so looking forward to seeing all our Nevada and California friends for the 1st time in their own states! To check out our tour dates and how you can get tickets click here.

There are some new interviews out with Ritchie and I that you may like to read. Metallion for Japan, BT in Denmark, and Acoustic Magazine in the UK. There is also a great link here. Thanks Tina Chancey for sharing that one!

The newest news out of Germany is that the television show Die Burg will be using the song Lorelei as their theme song! Die Burg is a reality show that brings people back to the Renaissance times to see how they would live back then... The soundtrack for the legendary story of Siegfried, the origin of the Lord of the Rings, Die Nibelungen - The Ring Of The Nibelungs , will include 2 of our songs! Shadow of the Moon and Gone With The Wind. www.ring-of-the-nibelungs.com www.sat1.de/nibelungen Blackmore's Night has two songs on the soundtrack compilation: Gone With The Wind & Shadow of the Moon.
