New band member

Carl Sutton has joined us on acoustic guitar as a new permanent member of the band to give us an extra dimension.  This takes us up to seven permanent members plus the additional musicians that join us from time to time.  At this rate we’ll soon be outdoing Bellowhead!  There are a couple of gigs that Carl is unavailable for due to prior commitments but the future is looking rosy…

Whatstandwell Festival

We had a lot of fun at the Whatstandwell Festival, there were some really good bands on; we supported LoFi Lung and the brilliant Lucy Ward.  The audience were a lot of fun too and the organisers at Hankin Farm were very friendly.  We were even called back for an encore- always good news when it’s a new crowd… maybe we’ll see you there next time?

Lee Rosey’s gig

Rockin’ out at Lee Rosey’s Tea Rooms- you kinda know you’re showing your age when the strongest drink on the menu is ginger beer!  What a great gig though; Nottingham city centre, intimate venue, great crowd, supporting really good artists- Becky Syson and then LoFi Lung.  Looking forward to seeing them both again.  Louby Lou’s first solo gig with us and she slotted in perfectly, Joy’s...
