Yesterday night on www.radiosix.com at 23:00 The Orchids played live after 11 years!!!

The show will be broadcast again on the 8th of January. Go on www.radiosix.com and check timings.

Great to hear from them again their classics and to know that 2006 will see their new songs ( 20 of them already ready ) go into a new album. They quite wonder the interest around their music after so long but it’s going like that. They are rehearsing and going to produce the new songs. I got a preview on to two of them and they are really great. Stay tuned!!!
