Celtic Metal from Wales UK
Bluehorses in 2008
Greetings Horseheadz
Thought it was about time we brought you all up to speed on current happenings at BH Towers…
Having been ‘at it’ for nearly fifteen years (! - where did that go then???) the band have decided to take a break from live shows this year and spend a bit of time working on their own things.
Nic and Jay have been having fun in the studio over the past few weeks working on ideas for a new project, and Liz is concentrating on the more traditional side of things for a while.
Nic’s also finding time - and headspace! - to design and make Celtic and Anglo-Saxon inspired ceramic sculpture and tiles for the first time since he and Liz started the band waaay back in 1994.
Huge thanks as ever for your continuing support, we really will miss seeing all of you at the festies and shows and to keep you going til we next meet… do make sure you pick up a copy of the new album ‘Thirteen Fires’ - it really is a stormer :o)
You can buy the album, and all the other CDs and DVD from the Bluehorses website (paypal or credit cards accepted) and from http://www.amazon.co.uk
Our very, very best wishes to you from everyone at BH Towers

The New Bluehorses Album - Thirteen Fires
Native Spirit Records Press Release - December 2007
The New Bluehorses Album - Thirteen Fires - Native Spirit NSBH CD007
They’re back with their first album in 7 years and they ain’t taking no prisoners! Welsh Celtic Rockers, Bluehorses, have gone back to their roots and come up with a new album ‘Thirteen Fires’ that’s dripping with metallic riffs, double kick-drums and soaring violin.
Fronted by Irish/Welsh Gothess, Lizzie Prendergast, whose storming electric-violin, electric-Celtic-harp and vocals provide the Celtic flavour, the band have come out of the closet - and brought some skeletons with them!
Founder member, drummer and arranger Nic Waulker says “Over the last 15 years we’ve played numerous festivals in every country in the UK, Europe and Scandinavia, but compared to the stuff we’ve jammed in the privacy of Bluehorse Towers, we’ve always toned things down quite a bit. Thanks to the delights of YouTube, we’ve discovered there’s a massive Folk Metal scene going on in Europe and Scandinavia headed up by bands like Korpiklaani and In Extremo and it’s made us realise there’s now an awful lot of people around who want to hear the kind of music we’ve always really enjoyed playing.
