Welcome to the very first Blog on the sparkly new OMA Website, I hope you're all a fan of the new layout. With the next album launch just around the corner it seems that OMA are in 'manic season' again. Everything is so exciting at the minute with new opportunities arising all the time. Firstly I have to mention our performance in Singleton Park Swansea as part of the BBC's 'Proms in the Park'. I think this might go down as one of the all time favourite performances for a lot of the boys. The whole evening had a great buzz about it. At one point we were watching a sea of Welsh Flags waving along to our 'Tom Jones Medley' in the audience, it was really quite something. 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' fever seems to have struck the nation and there's a great buzz surrounding our version with the rock goddess Bonnie Tyler herself. We performed the track live on GMTV last week; you can view the performance here if you missed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI9MAb-mfv8 While you're on youtube you also have to watch the 'lego version' of the track created by a German fan. I think it's fabulous, so much work has gone in to it, it was a very proud moment to see ourselves immortalised in lego. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2r386K1XJY Myself, Wyn, Craig and Dave have also been busy darting around the UK in our A-Team style people carrier promoting our new album over radio stations everywhere. 'I pity the fool who doesn't buy our new album...' :-) . It really is a great experience and we've met some fabulous presenters along the way. I know for a fact we have an incredibly busy time ahead so please keep an eye on the news section to find out where we might be popping up next. Thomas Oliver
