January 2007
The mystery of winter continues into the New Year... she certainly is full of surprises isn't she? Here on the island where we are normally covered in crystalline snow drifts and icicles, instead the bulbs are already peeking out of the earth, feeling the warmth and wondering how spring could've come so early? Some days are filled with sunshine, some nights bitterly cold with raging winds, and some afternoons misting us with showers of light rain... and I love each of the turns that we are getting. I love how unpredictable the earth is and how it teaches us so much about our own lives... you never really know whats around the corner... you just have to surrender to the mystery sometimes and allow it to take you where it will... enjoy the journey and the sensations it brings with it...You don't always need to be in control...

As always at this time of year, December is a time of celebration and reflection, but January is the month of hope and promises for the future of the year.
We'd like to thank you all for all your support for Winter Carols! We entered into the Billboard New Age charts here in the USA and the album continues to ride high there... Christmas Eve ranked at #30 in its Mediabase chart positions for radio play and Wish You Were Here did well too, but perhaps some of the the most exciting news is that we have been voted #1 by the NPR stations nationwide to New Age Reporter for Winter Carols, as the best ranked cd for December! Click here to see chart.

Even Psychocircus Radio named us as album of the Month and aired an interview with an hour special. Thank you to all the street teams who did so much work all over the world, especially the UK, France and America, you are so amazing!! And what a delicious present this was from Black Forest Bakery!

You can also click here to see our video interview with Artisian News Service... Carols as Satan's Music? Hmm.... Draw your own conclusions on that one...

In this, the tenth year of our existence as Blackmore's Night we have many New Year's resolutions! We hope to: release the DVD that was filmed in Paris from our show there in 2006 as well as the footage that we recorded at our last show in Germany at Landshut Castle this past summer. We are booking our dates that will bring us to places we have never been to before... as those get closer I'll tell you more! We are writing for our next studio album... and there is another guest project in the works for me! So, shrouded in mystery as always, but when the details form concrete visions, I'll be sure to let you in on all the details...

Until that time comes, check out Spellcraft Magazine from Australia, I'm on the cover of it for this month! Thanks Melissa... I did an interview for the DP Hub but to read it you'll need to register. We just finished a couple of interviews for Benelux, 1 for Dutch Progressive Rock Pages and 1 for IO Magazine.

Also, there is write up on Magiquest, the theme park I am an intervactive video screen Princess in, and they discuss Blackmore's Night in March's issue of Games Magazine.

To buy the soundtrack of Magiquest including our songs "Way To Magiquest" and "Magic Wand Tree", click here.

And as always, your Between Us Questions are ready for you now... There is some tourdate information for you on that page as well...

Love and light,
