Hi Guys,
May I wish all of you a very happy and peaceful New Year for 2016.
I can't thank you enough for all your support during 2015.
Your messages have been so positive, constructive and kind, it's been rather overwhelming - thank you so much for taking the time.
Thanks to you we've had three number one's in the N1M charts with "Wind Up", "Push" & "Something"
Top 5's for "Dreamaker", "Set it Free" & "Not Afraid" and approaching 250,000 plays on N1M Radio Worldwide.
As for future altunes releases, you'll have to bear with me on that for a while as I'm going to be involved in my day-job as a sound engineer/producer with a number of other artists for the beginning of the year, but rest assured you'll be the first to know when we've got something for you.
Best Wishes,
Al

Hi guys,
I'm sorry there hasn't been an update for a while, I've been very busy at my day job as a sound engineer & producer over the last few months and Leela has been studying hard for her finals at University, so our time has been taken up.
I would however like to thank you all for your continued support of altunes. Thanks to you the songs "Something & Nothing" and "Wind Up" have been top of their respective charts for about 8 - 10 weeks now - amazing! And "Push" has also appeared in the top 10.
Rest assured there will be more to come.
In the meantime, I am always happy to hear from you on altunesinfo@(expired link) or feel free to give us a Facebook "Like" at (expired link)

Hi there,
Thank you all again for your support.
"Wind Up" has gone straight into the N1M charts at number one and it's all thanks to you.
Last month i asked which track you'd like me to remix and was overwhelmed by requests for "Not Afraid of Love", so here you have it. It means so much to us to hear your feedback, so please keep it coming,
We've now gone over the 5000 mark in terms of fans and are approaching 150,000 plays on N1M.
Don't forget, you can contact us directly on altunesinfo@(expired link)
Keep the faith,
Al

Hi Everyone,
Yet again I must give you all a big thank you for sending "Something & Nothing" to the number one spot in the Pop/Rock charts. I'm so grateful for all your support, quite simply, it could not happen without you.
Thank you also for getting in touch in your hundreds about which track you'd like me to remix next. The winner by a long shot was "Not Afraid" which I've started on already and will be sure to put it out on N1M very soon.
I have also had many enquiries as to how to download the songs - in the merchandise section on the right hand side of our page there are links directly to iTunes, Amazon, Tidal and many more so I hope that resolves the issue.
The sun is shining here in Wales this week which is always good for my creativity, so all being well there will be a brand new altune coming your way very soon.
Thanks again to all of you. It makes what we do feel worth it when so many of you take the time to drop us a line with you kind words and positive comments.
Take care all,
Al

Hi Everyone,
First and foremost, thank you so much for getting behind "Push"
The response was fantastic and within 2 weeks of release it hit the number one spot on the N1M charts. We could not have done it without you.

If you'd like to download a copy just follow this link

The new single "Wind-Up" is almost ready for release and should be available in the next few weeks.
You'll be the first to know exactly when and we will put it straight onto N1M for you to preview, share and hopefully download from iTunes :-)
Meanwhile, as some of you know, I updated the altunes studio last year and as the first album was recorded & mixed in the old studio I thought it would be interesting to remix a track using the new equipment. So last week I mixed & remastered "Paradise". It will be up on N1M in the next few days so please check it out and let me know what you think. My next question is if you do like it, are there any other tracks from the first album you think could benefit from another mix?
Hoping to start working on some new material next week. We have a few ideas kicking around and hopefully they'll all come together in a meaningful way, or possibly not!
Don't forget you can get in touch with us directly on altunesinfo@(expired link) we'd be glad to hear from you. For those of you who have been in touch, thanks for all your support and kind words.
All tracks are available from iTunes or from our Facebook Store at:

If you're not busy, pop over and give us 'like'.
All the best & take care

Hi Guys,
Happy New Year all
It's finally here for you, "PUSH TOO FAR" the new single from altunes. I know the adverts say it's not due out until Feb 2nd, but due a technical error, it's out on iTunes already. Preview it here, then go download it from the iTunes Store - search for altunes Push too Far 79p or 99c

Thank you for all your support and kind words over the past year.
There will be 2 new altunes coming out in the new year. They're mixed & mastered, I just didn't want to get caught up with all the Christmas tunes. You'll be the first to know!

Happy Holidays!

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your continued support and welcome to all new subscribers.
As I explained in my last mail, I've been busy producing some other acts for the last couple of months, so altunes has been on hold for a while. But fear not, Leela and I have been in the studio this last week recording two new songs (well one down, one to go) so hopefully in the not too distant future we'll have some new tunes for you.
I would also like to thank you for all your kind words and for taking the time to go to iTunes and downloading - it makes it all worth while. Just a reminder that you can message me directly at altunesinfo@(expired link) or visit the website at (expired link)
Thanks again to you all,
Al

Hi guys,
There seems to be a problem in the mail system somewhere.
If you haven't received any updates lately, can you let me know on altunesinfo@(expired link) and I will send you mails directly in the future.
Thanks

Hi guys,
Welcome to all our new subscribers and hello again to everyone else.
The response to altunes has been absolutely amazing and I must admit when recording it here in my little studio in the hills of Wales, I didn't expect such world-wide support. I feel quite humbled by it all - thank you so much.
As for news, well we've been in the studio for the past couple of weeks working on some new material, some of which I'm very excited about so watch this space....
We've also been involved in the production of a charity single to raise money for our local air-ambulance,
so yea, we've been quite busy.
That's about it for now, thanks again for your support & kind words, it means a lot to us.
Until next month, take care,
Al

About altunes
Welcome to altunes.
A collection of tunes for you to enjoy! altunes is a studio project written and recorded at AMR Studio by songwriter & producer Aled Roberts, staring Leela Hawcroft on vocals with guest appearance from Kez Price, Dai Robs & others. In terms of genre I guess it could be described as ‘indie/pop’ with regular excursions into soul, funk, rock, dance, electronica and whatever else takes our fancy. With a broad scope of influences thrown into the melting pot (post-punk-new-wave, eighties pop, nineties electronica and ‘alternative’ noughties rock), the slinky grooves, infectious riffs and hooks you could hang your hat on, everyone should be someone’s favourite.
