So the ‘Broken Strings’ CD and DVD are both in production and set to be available in stores on Friday 5th February 2010.
Those of you whom purchased at the shows and from the bands website will receive the album a few days earlier.
The track listing for the CD features every song from the tour (list below) which was more that we could fit on one CD. The ‘Broken Strings’ live album will be released as a double CD – and the first pressing will be in a limited edition, schmick looking digipak – only available while stock lasts.

After sold out shows in Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne, the Broken Strings tour has come to an end.
A huge thanks goes out to the Anthony Cormican for his brilliant strings compositions, the ‘Birds Strings’ players (Matt, Rebecca, Ben and Cerys), to all of the bands crew and production staff, but especially to the fans, who helped make the tour such a memorable experience.
It doesn’t end here though. Already the wheels are in motion to begin editing, mixing and mastering for the live CD and DVD release.
We’re hoping to get these out by the first week of February (hopefully a little earlier to those who pre-ordered at the show).
If you would like more information on how to pre-purchase the album, please enter your details into the form on the right and we’ll be in touch to let you know more.
Again, thanks to all of you for coming to the show and supporting Birds on their most ambitious, challenging and rewarding expedition thus far.
