Roisin & The Bullitts debuts

Just a few weeks into the new year and we get some fantastic new music from Roisin & The Bullitts. The song is based on the theme song from the classic TV series The Persuaders.

Send me your worst
The smile or the hearse
The flowers, the tear drops
Whichever comes first

But seek and you'll find
A dagger enshrined
You persuade me to thank you in kind

With heart on the line
Make haste the time
The knife or the poison
Whichever the crime

But with grand design
And life on a dime,
You persuade me to thank you in kind

Sydney video installation

Roisin is featured in Jasmin Tarasin’s video installation Live, which can currently be watched at Sydney's Town Hall as part of the Sydney Festival.

According to this review the movie is very intimate. Shot in black-and-white, Roisin can be seen performing in front of a plain white background.

7 Hills preview

Here is an exclusive preview of 7 Hills, a song Roisin recorded with Tony Christie for his upcoming album Now's The Time:

I really like that Roisin sounds quite bluesy on this song. What do you think?

Tony Christie's album will be released on 14 January 2011.

One million hits

Earlier today this blog received its millionth hit. When I started this page on 07/07/07 I never expected this landmark would be reached just 3 years down the line.

Thanks to all Roisin devotees for your visits and support!

Roisin works with The Bullitts

My favourite Roisin news is music news, so I am pleased that for a second day in row I have some for you.

It has been announced that Roisin has worked with the mysterious new act The Bullitts. The results of this collaboration will appear on the act's debut album, which is entitled They Die By Dawn and will be released next year.

However, we may hear the song before as the band will release a series of downloadable 'FlixTapes', a unique take on the mix tape as it features famous artists reinterpreting classic TV theme tunes and film soundtracks. A couple have already been released and can be downloaded for free.

Visit http://thebullitts.com/ to view the first two FlixTapes.

Cause you're a demon lover under the cover, but that don't make it right.



While I was on a lovely vacation in the sun this remix of Roisin's long awaited song Demon Lover emerged. It features UK rapper Wiley and it is the first time we get to hear the studio vocals for the song.

After this little surprise the actual studio version should hit cyberspace soon, I hope!
