'Live at the O2' now available on Amazon and iTunes
You can now also buy one of Ronan's Fires Live CD's - the one from London's O2 Arena - in various other online stores, if you haven't purchased it directly from Concert Live yet. Personally I think it's a pity that only the London one seems to be available now, because personally I don't think it is the best one out of the four that were recorded. However, it is definitely worth getting!

Official 'Goddess' trailer
Roadshow Films Australia have added the official trailer for Goddess to Youtube. At the moment, there's still only a release date for Australia (this might include NZ), which is March 14th.
Now we've got a job to do - Please follow the link to the Youtube video, hit the 'Thumbs Up' icon and leave a comment! Your feedback is going straight to Roadshow Films, and I will make sure Ealing Metro (international sales agent) see it too. This could be really helpful when it comes to bringing the movie to other countries - the better the response to the trailer, the more likely local distributors are to pay attention to Goddess.
Please leave your comment today and then spread the link via Twitter, Facebook or any other way you can think of!
