Cantinero News

Hello and stuff.

So it’s the end of another decade, an eventful one to say the least.  Here’s “Long Way Home,” a Cantinero song that I think pretty much sums it up.

It’s a free download - my way of thanking everyone for their support.  Look forward to seeing you all over the next 10 years…

Long Way Home

I will be releasing an new EP in 2010, info to follow shortly.

So, have a good un.
