The Four Times Over website is now up and running, you can find it at http://www.de2ign.org It includes clips from the CD, background and information about the singers who have put together this wonderful tribute album and of course, details on how to obtain your copy. Cat and Jess have reproduced the New Seekers harmonies and remained true to their interpretaion of all songs even to Peter's vocals and guitar playing. With a guest appearance by Lyn Paul on the album this is a must for any Peter Doyle and New Seeker fan, but is only available in a limited edition, so make sure you order your copy soon! All proceeds are going to the Peter Doyle Fund and Jane Doyle will make the final decision on which charity is to benefit.
Something special to mark Peter's birthday this year with the release of a new CD A Tribute From the Heart from Dutch duo Four Times Over who have been busy recording their own tribute version of songs written or sung by Peter. The CD contains 26 tracks mostly from the peak of Peter's time with the New Seekers but including 2 songs which appeared on the Skin Deep album. The CD has been launched today (28th July) and should have been accompanied by the launch of a website. Sadly, 'Murphy's Law' is operating and the website has been delayed by a problem on the hosting server. The CD is now available at 15 euros plus post and packing. It is available from info@de2ign.org and I will post more information about the CD and website on this site as soon as it is available.
Site News
Murphy's Law has not only affected the Four Times Over website, this website has also had server problems of its own and anybody looking for the site about a week ago will have been greeted by a message saying the site had expired. This status remained for about 5 or 6 days during which time most of the search engines updated and are currently carrying the same message. Hopefully this will only last for a short space of time, but there really is no problem with the website and given that you are now reading this proves you have navigated to the site and can see for yourself that all is well!

Neil Gray currently has another recording of Peter from the 1980s with their group Skinflick on his MySpace page.
Other News
It's always good to hear that Peter's music is still attracting new fans and one of the more recent is Lyn Paul's son Ryan who has been listening to the New Seekers' albums.
Lyn says: 'Ryan is in awe of Peter's voice and he absolutely loves Goin' Back and most of the tracks that Pete recorded are on his ipod including I Can Say You're Beautiful and Move me Lord. This is a new generation that is appreciating Peters work.'
Ryan isn't the only one of a younger generation who has discovered Peter's music and it is great to know that his timeless sound has a continuing audience Of course it isn't only younger people who have only recently begun to appreciate Peter's talent. If you consider yourself a 'recent convert' or know anybody who is, please get in touch and let me know how you first started listening to Peter's music.

Site News
The Website is currently being redeveloped to update and improve the behind the scenes technicalities and bring a fresh look to the site.
To make it more user friendly for people with specialist browsers and speech readers a text version is being developed alongside
the renewed standard pages.
It will take a considerable time to update the whole site and in the meantime I will do my best to keep the site in order.
My apologies in advance for any inconvenience if any parts of the website do become inaccessible or difficult to navigate.
Please let me know if you find any broken links or experience other problems and your comments on the changes are welcome as always.
So far the About the Site, Intro Pages, Biography and basic Discography and Gallery pages have been updated with text versions added. There is also a Home Page, Site Guide and
News Page for the new Text Website. The only news currently available on the text version will be whatever happens now or in the
future, once the standard news page and archives are updated, earlier material will be made available.
Congratulations.....
..... to Chris, Peter's younger nephew and Ali on the birth of their son, Alexander Munro last month. The third grandson for Peter's sister, Kerryl and third great grandson for his Mum, Jean. I'm sure a happy Christmas is in store for them all!
