It's been a busy month for Relish with Irish shows in Limerick, Galway, Navan and Clonakilty and numerous promo activities along the way, too many to mention but highlights were live sessions for BBC Radio London and Total Rock Radio on Nov 27th, and interview and live session in Birmingham's Kerrang Radio. More shows early next year will be announced soon.
Finally, the official Relish store is now OPEN. For a limited time Relish will sign personalised cd's of the new album "Connected". In the order process you can request what is written (keep it clean). A perfect gift (for Christmas) for a Relish fan.
