Life in Full Colour - Preview Copies Sold Out!
Thanks to everyone who has bought a preview copy of my debut album Life in Full Colour.
Since I finished the record I have been building the team I need to fully release the album. I’m really grateful to all of you who have bought a preview copy here and at shows, and to all of you who have been in touch to tell me about your favourite song.
I am about to announce the full release date when ‘Life in Full Colour’ will be available on iTunes and elsewhere. I’m amazed to have sold close to 2,000 copies before the proper release takes place!
For now I am keeping a few copies back for live show audiences - so if you want a copy please come to a show!
Check back for a full release announcement soon.

Callaghan to sing at the Gigi’s Play House Atlanta event on March 3rd
In 2011, shortly after moving to Atlanta, Callaghan was asked to support Gigi’s Playhouse Atlanta at their first fundraising event.
Gigi’s Playhouse is an awareness centre for children with Down Syndrome or Trisomy 21. The playhouse offers specialist physical and speech therapies, literacy classes, and a place for kids and their families to come together.
There are already several playhouses in Chicago and other cities. The Gala event in February 2011 raised enough to open Atlanta’s first Playhouse in Midtown. Around 1,000 Atlanta families need the services the Playhouse offers, so the parents who set up Gigi’s Playhouse Atlanta are hoping to raise more much needed funds at their March 3rd event.
Callaghan will appear and sing live as part of the event at the Ritz Carlton and is honoured to be part of the evening. For more information about Gigi’s Playhouse Atlanta and the ‘I Have a Voice’ Gala dinner, please visit: www.gigisatlantagala.com

Callaghan on the road - making 2012 the Best Year!
This year is off to a great start! On Saturday January 7th I celebrated my birthday with a full band show at Eddie’s Attic - thanks to everyone who came out!
Then it was down to Florida for the wonderful 30A Songwriters’ Festival . I played three shows on the beautiful gulf coast. I love the audiences at the festival, and the great thing is that when you are not playing you can watch songwriters you have always wanted to hear. This year’s line up was over 100 strong and included; Rodney Crowell, Shawn Mullins, Amy Ray, Randall Bramblett to name a few.
January also included shows in Tennessee, North & South Carolina and Georgia with Erick Baker, a great singer-songwriter who you will hear a lot more about.
2012 is going to be all about the road as I build up to the full release of Life in Full Colour...look out for shows coming up in Indianapolis, St Louis, Chicago, New York, Knoxville, Raleigh, Philly and many more here: VIEW ALL GIGS
I’m also planning a big weekend for Atlanta! More news about that soon!
