It's only taken four years but Richard Kitson is happy to announce he is to record a new album set for release in spring 2010. It will be a departure from his more familiar blues format but will of course have a blues element to it.

The album will feature the talents of Gerry McNeice on double bass, Katriona Gilmore (of Gilmore and Roberts fame) on violin and mandolin and Marjorie Paterson (of Fyrish fame) on cello.

Nothing is fully set in stone as of yet as Richard is taking his time in letting the songs develop naturally. However he can confirm that the album will feature 14 original songs a small few of which will be re-workings of previously released but now unavailable tracks.
