The following message was posted on the Waylander's website:

"Samhain's greetings to you all ! May the time between times prove beneficial to one and all.

At long last, the much talked about Promo cd is finally ready ! The sound could have been better and the tempos refined a lot more but we feel it's of a decent enough quality to use as a tool to remind the world that Waylander are very much alive and kicking in 2005.

At least one of the songs will be available to download from this Site or if anyone wants the cd, they can send us a blank cd, and some pennies toward postage and packing. In the uk £1.50 or 6 first class Stamps should cover it. Ireland and Europe, 3 euro, r.o.w. 5 euro. 4 Ballinteggart Road, Battlehill, Co.Armagh, BT62 4HN, N.Ireland.

We are still on schedule to have the album written by the year's end. At the moment 5 songs are more or less completed, with 3 other songs in various stages of development. We've decided not to bother with a cover song after all as it seems like everyone takes that route. We prefer to tread our own pathways. If the 8 songs aren't enough, we will write another.

Reawakening Pride Once Lost looks well with the proper logo now. The re-release of this album with some old demo tracks as bonus material will now officially take place in December via Ulster's Midhir Records. Pre-orders are likely, try www.midhirrecords.com

Many thanks to Dave Briggs for recording our promo for us, it is greatly appreciated and I'm sure we all took something positive from the experience.

We are now contacting Record Labels and weighing up our studio options and as soon as we know anything you will be the first to know of it !

Until next time, keep the ancient fires burning in your hearts,

Bua no Bas !!

The following statement was posted on the Waylander website:

"Waylander have not rehearsed as a full band since before the recording of a 2 song promo in October. Dissatisfaction with the end result led to the decision to remove Gaz from the drum stool. We appreciate his efforts, considering he is really a bassist.

We needed a drummer who could play Waylander songs naturally so we asked original Waylander member, Den Ferran to resume his rightful place and he gleefully accepted.

It came as no surprise when disaster struck, with Fearghal Duffy resigning due to medical reasons. Fearghal had trouble with his hands, leading to tendonitis and arthritis, rendering guitar playing practically impossible. Waylander.s thoughts are with him.

A few weeks later, long term bassist Michael Proctor resigned due to complete disillusionment with being in a band, playing music etc.

Obviously, the 3 remaining members are reeling from this and the existence of Waylander has been seriously brought into question.

We will convene again in March and begin 2 months of auditions. So, Waylander once again, require members, a bassist and guitarist. A knowledge of folk music is desired as well as a grasp of what Waylander are all about. Commitment and decent equipment an absolute must. 21+ if possible.

We're not looking for Steve Vai here, just someone motivated to write music and contribute to a band environment.

The timing has been terrible as we now have to withdraw from the Skyforger tour, not to mention, turning down a French tour and keeping the several interested Record labels at arm's length for the time being.

We will search for and audition members until mid May. If the vacant positions are not filled by that stage, we will prepare a set for Day of Darkness which may very well be Waylander's farewell performance.

So, we need musicians, if anyone knows anyone suitable e-mail Ardchieftain667@yahoo.co.uk

Thank you for your time."
