Hi everyone,

We haven't written to you for over two weeks so we thought we had better give you all an update on what we have been up to. Two weeks ago we flew to Australia to begin our promotion for our album which has now been released over there. We were lucky enough to perform at the Sydney Opera House for the first time in our career and it was a beautiful setting. We then moved on to Melbourne and Brisbane to continue our radio and press promo.

After a week in Australia we flew to Hong Kong to begin our promo for the album there, where we performed a showcase for all the Asian media. Lots of radio and press interviews continued and at the end of the week we got great news that we were at number 4 in the Hong Kong album chart! So thanks to everyone who went out and bought a copy!

On Saturday we flew to Holland to film Mooiweerdeleeuw TV, then back to London on the same day to perform at the Jewish Care party. Today we are filming the video for our next single "High". We will be filming a pod cast at the video shoot so very soon you will be able to see some very exclusive behind the scenes footage.

Take care,

Dan x.

Off to Canada!

Hi everyone!

Another amazing week in the world of RyanDan! The video shoot was a good day for us and as you can see we filmed a video diary to capture the day which you can now see on our You Tube channel at http://www.youtube.com/ryandanofficial . We filmed it in West London and it was a one-day shoot. The next day was our first day off for about three weeks so we just had a quiet day at home as we were flying to Portugal the next day to start our press, TV and Radio promo for the first time over there.

Today we are flying to Canada for the launch of our album which is at the Courthouse in Toronto on Monday night {5th Nov} and we really can't wait to see all of our friends and family as this is the first time we have been home since August. Unfortunately I have had a touch of the flu which I have been trying to shake off so hopefully I will be better in time for the launch on Monday!! - In fact it's quite lucky that Dan hasn't caught it aswel but we are never ill at the same time which some people might find hard to believe {!} After Toronto, we will be heading to Montreal for more press and radio before flying to New York for a show. Our album is out in Canada on Tuesday which we are very excited about!

By the way, thanks to all of you who have been sending in fan mail, we do read all of your messages!!

Take care,

Ryan xx.

P.S We have recorded a version of Oh Holy Night which we will be performing on various Christmas TV shows in December, so keep you eyes peeled!

Nov 19th - Hello from Ryan!

Hi everyone!!

We have just got back from Canada and we have had an amazing time promoting our album in our homeland! Firstly the launch went really well and it was great to meet some of you after our performance and we are glad you enjoyed the show. Plenty of TV and radio interviews followed the launch and we enjoyed every minute. It was fantastic to learn that we were #9 {!} in the Canadian album chart and #1 selling album in Quebec, and we would like to thank all the radio stations who played "The Face", your support means the world to us! It was also great to see so many of our family and friends but it was also tough as we visited our neice Tal's grave for the first time which brought us back down to earth to say the least, it was a sad moment for us.

We are currently in Dublin as we write this but we will be travelling to Finland tonight for more promo {including the Great Christmas Show} and then onto Sweden, Austria and Spain!

Take care,

Ryan x.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone....

Ryan and I had a great Christmas and New Year seeing our friends and family. We spent a lot of the holidays writing new material. Our first trip of 2008 was to New York for our industry launch of the album, coming out on Decca records on 8th April for all our American fans. At the launch, we performed: Like The Sun, Tears of an Angel, The Face and The Prayer. We were only in the city for a day, so we didn't have too much time to look around. It was freezing cold but the launch was a huge success! We are looking forward to touring soon and playing at 'One Night Live' in Toronto and our first headline show at Brock University in St Catherine's, Canada.

We hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year, and look forward to seeing you all very soon! Keep checking our official site for all the latest news.

Hi everyone,

We hope everyone is having a good 2008 so far! In the past two weeks we have mainly been writing new material and also preparing for One Night Live and our headline show in St Catharine's by rehearsing as much as possible which is going great.

We are currently planning a tour of North America so keep checking our site, myspace, facebook etc for news on that. We also have some new videos on you tube and we look forward to seeing some of you at the Rosemount signings on the 9th and 16th February.

Take care,

Ryan.

One Night Live!

Hi Everyone,

What a fantastic couple of gigs we've had over the past few days!

First of all, playing at One Night Live was a truly amazing experience. Performing in front of 20,000 people really made it a very special night. We performed High, The Prayer, The Face and Like The Sun. Thanks to all our fans that turned up. Your support was deafening to say the least! What a brilliant reception we got from you all. An amazing evening was topped, when Bryan Adams asked us to come back onstage with him to perform a duet of his beautiful song "Heaven". Dan and I, of course, said yes! There are some pictures up from our backstage rehearsal in Bryan's dressing room. What a great way to end a great night!

Then onto our headline show at St Catharine's - It was totally sold out and the response from the crowd was simply brilliant. We received two standing ovations and it really is the greatest feeling you can experience from such a supportive audience. Thanks to all that attended, especially the 400 people who waited for hours afterwards in line to say hello at the after signing.

You can see photos from One Night live in the photo section on myspace or www.ryandan.com.

See you all soon,

Ryan x
