We’re really excited to let you know that our new album is ready for pre-order!
Called “11:60pm”, it’s got 12 unusual and fabulous (we think) songs on it, made famous by Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday, Flanagan & Allan, Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby and Judy Garland.. and more. And this time round we have the special addition of some Mandolin by both Sam and Andy, and some more Ukulele.
Please take the time to swing past our store at:
Hetty Kate’s Online Store and take a look.
If you order by August 4th it will be signed and shipped out to you with love on or before August 14th – only $25AUD including postage. ($5 postage is a flat one time fee, so if you buy two you’ll only pay $45AUD).

We’re happy to be welcoming in 2011, though devastated at the terrible flooding around the world and here in Australia – sending so many prayers and thoughts to those affected.
Our news.. we’ve posted some sneak peeks from the great photoshoot for our new album – which will be released soon! Visit the gallery section to see, and a big thank you to the very talented Trudy Schuringa for taking the pictures. Visit her site at www.trudyschuringa.com
The album is coming along nicely, and we hope you’ll enjoy it! Meanwhile Sam and Andy are up in Tamworth making some country music with the great Australian singer Leslie Avril for the rest of January.. and Hetty is off overseas again, to sing in Hanoi Vietnam and then will be in Europe and North America for their Summer and Autumn.
Updates about our album will be posted here and on Facebook, so keep in touch! We all hope to see you soon..
