It occurred this evening that I haven’t written nearly as much about Sirens<\/cite><\/a> as they deserve. The last two nights they’ve performed sold-out concerts at The Ugly Mug Cafe<\/cite> that were recorded for release in a few weeks. I’ve been privileged to attend both nights with friends (Donna, Jessie and Scott) and family (my parents), and I think (rather modestly) I may have made new Sirens fans of all of them. (Like I had anything to do with it other than picking up their tickets.)<\/p>\n\n

This week has seen a blitz of promotion, more than I’ve seen for a London act in a long time–if ever. For the Folk<\/cite><\/a>, a program on the University of Western Ontario’s radio station CHRW 94.7<\/a>, featured them live for better than 45 minutes on Wednesday night; alternate-week host Ian Gifford even allowed them to play out the last 20 minutes of the show without comment or interruption. The other host, Allison Brown, played a song from an earlier CD last week and announced this weekend’s concerts. (I’ve seen both Brown and Gifford at recent concerts, and Allison in<\/em> concert based on a recommendation from Sirens… it goes both ways.) They got mention in James Reaney<\/cite>‘s column in the London Free Press<\/cite><\/a>, and performed on The New PL<\/cite><\/a> Friday morning. Getting that kind of exposure from London media is incredible<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

Can’t say enough about the concerts themselves, so I won’t try–so much for writing more about them! See them live, check out their website<\/a>, buy a CD or four, and judge for yourself.<\/p><\/div>
