Irish guitarist BERNIE TORMÉ has announced that his “Flowers & Dirt” album is now available on vinyl to Pledgers. Bernie states:

“You can tell I’m pleased!
We’ve just received the Flowers & Dirt Vinyl double LP’s and these will be going out to vinyl Pledgers as soon as we can get them packaged after we hit the Rock & Blues fest this weekend.
They look cool! And sound GREAT! A lovely object to frame and hang on the wall, AND if you have a vinyl player you can even play it too!
The lovely people at PledgeMusic have agreed to keep the pledge open till midday Monday UK time for any extra orders on this wonderful item……(we know a lot of people have been wary of ordering vinyl on pledges, we’ve heard from quite a few about being let down and the vinyl taking about a decade to arrive: won’t happen here!)
We already have ’em, they are mega cool, and they will be winging their way to all who have pledged/pre ordered them NEXT WEEK!“

During 2014 Bernie Tormé embarked on a hugely successful Pledge Campaign for his first album for 15 years, “Flowers & Dirt’: he achieved 100% of his Pledge goal within one day, and finished the campaign with an overshoot of over 400%. Bernie has been running a Pledge campaign for his next album “Blackheart” and it is now the last chance for fans to get involved. Says Bernie:

“We are now at 182%, cool or what!

This is the Very Last Weekend Of The Pledge!

We’re working like crazy over the weekend, uploading the album for release to Pledgers on Tuesday!

The Flowers & Dirt Vinyls have left the pressing plant and will be arriving here at Bernie Central next week, and will be going out to ALL who ordered them (individually or as part of a package) as soon as we have a chance to check, package, and post them all, so a couple of weeks at most and they will winging their way to all you vinyl Pledgers, NO DELAY FOR ANYONE!

A HUGE Thanks to everybody who Pledged and supported me and the new album!

Remember if you still want to jump on board and get the album or any of the other great pledge offers, YOUR VERY LAST CHANCE TO PLEDGE IS RIGHT NOW!”
