Happy New Year from The Proclaimers

"Hello and a very Happy New Year to all.

We have had a fantastic 2009 with the release of the Notes & Rhymes album and 95 live shows across the World that began in March at SXSW in Austin and ended at London's O2 for BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans Show 'Farewell Drivetime' party. Our thanks and appreciation to everyone who has bought tracks or made it to a gig, we hope that you have enjoyed the music. Whilst mainly writing in the year ahead, The Proclaimers will be doing a few live shows in the Spring and Summer of 2010, full info as gigs confirmed.

UK residents can access David Tennant's Desert Island Discs for BBC Radio 4 here (on line till 8th January). David describes his first track by The Proclaimers - "I could have chosen any and and every track from this band, probably my favourite band of all time. They write the most spectacular songs, big hearted, uncynical passionate songs."

Tonight, Thursday 31st December, Auld Lang Syne 18:25 on BBC Two (Scotland only), catch Craig and Charlie's contribution to Artworks Scotland film on Robert Burns most famous song.

Cheers,

Persevere"

All the best to Craig and Charlie from the Jocknroll crew for 2010.
