Shipment - hot off the press

Happy New Year all..

The first shipment of Bumblejums Books and CDs has landed on our doorstep having contended with the snowy weather here in the UK in early January. It was a pleasure to finally see them come through the door and open the first box! The feedback so far has been great and sales are booming so place your orders soon to avoid disappointment on this first print run.

The beautifully illustrated and enchanting book introduces the Bumblejums, their special powers, where they live and some of the fun things they like to do. The music is the perfect singalong for the car and is sure to get everyone's toes tapping.

All materials are printed on 100% recycled paper including the foam cd mounts on the CD digipacks. They cost a little extra but worth it to know that we're not using brand new paper.

We've been told that the music sounds like a mix of The Beatles and The Beach boys... draw your own conclusions as you will.... The CD is narrated captivatingly by Loey (Andy Rowe), a friend of the Bumblejums who knows all about their special powers and the land of Bally Bo!

Thank you all again for your support. I hope you enjoy the book and music and stay tuned for the next Bumblejum book later in 2010 which we will be starting work on shortly.

As a taster here is a sample image from the book, one of my favourites, which I think sums up the ethos of the Bumblejums... 'Ain't nature pretty? Let's look after it!

Book & CD Launch October 2009

Hi Folks,

We are getting ready to launch our new book and CD of songs "Meet the Bumblejums". The CD is narrated by Andy Rowe who provides the voice of Loey, a friend of the Bumblejums. You can hear a welcome clip from Loey on our myspace site here.

You can order the book and CD online from early October, in time for a pre-Christmas delivery. "Meet the Bumblejums" book and CD will be an introduction to the Bumblejums and their special powers linked to nature.

You'll see Jo make it rain with a blink of her eyes and how Jon makes plants grow with just a touch! You can also sing along with the Bumblejums as they go sailing on the Russell River and take a walk through the woods in Dandy Forest!

The book is designed to help kids aged 3-7 begin the voyage of discovery relating to respect and responsibility towards nature and time spent enjoying it. The CD is the "Ultimate Singalong" for the car Journey with 10 fun and catchy songs. The book and CD can be ordered together or individually.

Feel free to register on the site and we will notify you of the release date.

Bye for now...

Album Progress

Hello Friends,

We are making good progress on "Meet the Bumblejums" our first CD. You can hear some samples on

http://www.myspace.com/thebumblejums

This record is all about love of nature and the wonder in the small things, rain, sunshine, clouds... so to get into the spirit of things, just head outdoors. Go on a picnic, take a bike ride, an amazing balloon ride or even just a walk in the park!

We're hoping to have "Meet the Bumblejums" ready for sale in time for Christmas. So hopefully it will make a perfect present for that tricky to buy for person or parents in need of a singalong CD for the car journey...and the kids get to learn a little bit about nature and the Bumblejums!

We'll be starting work on a book to go with the CD soon too!

Bye for now.

Ballybonian.

More Music....

The Bumblejums are going back in the studio this weekend to work on some new tracks.

There's one about a Balloon made of leaves that floats through the tree tops and we'll be putting the finishing touches to The River Song. We should be able to add these tracks to www.myspace.com/thebumblejums next week sometime.

Thank you all for the feedback on the website updates, we'll be adding more soon.

Ballybonian.
