Getting 2009 off to a flying start, Wheeler Street release their début album Roodumdah on 2 February 2009. It was recorded late last year with none other than Jim Moray in the producer’s chair. As their Complaints & Privileges EP was much loved here at Bright Young Folk, we have high hopes for this one. Watch this space for a review soon.
They have an album launch tour in February and March, and are lining up festival appearances for the rest of the year. Catch them if you can.
