There will be a new Wonderfully Whiffy Heather Nova Candle launched on March 10th, 2007.

The Heather Nova Candle has a scent of fresh coconut combined with vanilla orchid, features Heather's signature and most likely comes with a newly designed insert card featuring a photograph of Heather. The new candle is smaller (20cl glass jar) than the previous one, which is reflected in the price of 14.50 British Pounds. 3.50 British Pounds of it will be donated to a charity of Heather's choice.

Starting today you can preorder this limited Heather Nova Candle in the online shop of the Wonderfully Whiffy website. For more information about the candle check out Wonderfully Whiffy Limited Editions

Here is a picture of it:

Hundreds of people joined the celebration on sunday, november 19th, of not building a hospital at the ground of the Botanical Gardens in Hamilton, Bermuda, which is a victory for the "Save the Gardens" project ( www.savethegardens.com ).

Among other artists performing on the stage in front of Camden House, Heather Nova played a five song gig there, which included Motherland. As a finale Heather Nova sang "Three Little Birds" from Bob Marley together with all the other performers of the festival.

Read the article "Hundreds turn out for Gardens party" of Bermuda's newspaper The Royale Gazette for more details of this celebration.

A Wet Paint Auction is being held this Saturday, October 7th, 2006 in support of the newly-founded Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation, the proceeds of which will be used towards the renovation and rebuilding of the foundation’s new home – at the former Elliott School on Jubilee Road.

"The idea behind this event, is that participants will spend the day creating works of art around Hamilton, which will then be auctioned off to the public that evening," Ms Rodriguez Roberts said.

Heather Nova is among a number of artists who have agreed to participate; artists Graham Foster, Jo Birdsey-Linberg and Gabriela Brunner also plan to donate already completed art pieces to the auction.

One of Heather Nova's concerts at German's famous Rockpalast will be aired on German TV channel "WDR Fernsehen" on sunday night, March 12th, starting at 0:30 MET. They will show more than 10 bands and singers during the 2.5 hours, so they will not show full sets, maybe just two or three songs. The broadcast is called "Best of Rocknights 1990-2005".

As the broadcast is actually after midnight, it's technically on the day where Heather Nova plays her first gig in 2006 (March 13th).


(information by the website of German's tv channel "WDR Fernsehen")

There is a very interesting interview with Heather Nova in today's Bermuda Sun newspaper (online edition).

You can read it here on Bermuda Sun's website. Also, you can discuss it here.

Heather Nova was tonight on the German TV show "RTL Comedy Nacht" by RTL with a performance of "Welcome". Unfortunately, the performance was shortened to 1:40 minutes, the middle part was cut out by RTL, so in fact it was just the first few seconds, then cut, and then a bit more than the last minute of the song. The performance was with the complete band and surprisingly Dick, Heather's tour manager, on keyboard.

Although it was announced, Heather played no sketch in that TV Show.

The broadcast was first scheduled for October 15th, but delayed to November 5th.

The local TV channel TV Rostock will air on wednesday, october 19th an interview and the live recording of "Redbird" and "Heart And Shoulder" from the gig in Rostock's Scandlines Arena (october 15th, 2005). You probably can order that TV broadcast next week from their website for 18 Euros plus shipping. We hopefully can provide you more details soon.
