Gig news

The gigs over the weekend were a lot of fun.  The Friday night at the Vic in Derby was filmed so we’ll edit that down and get something up here on the website.  Saturday at the Star & Garter in Burton was great, it’s good that the venue is back in business and to support the Outcast Band there was a real priviledge. It was great to see friends both old and new there too and look forward to...

We’ve been working with producer Jon Harper again over the summer to produce two new recordings and they’re now mastered and ready to release.  The first is a cover of the Buzzcocks classic “Ever Fallen in Love?” set to a completely new arrangement.  This has been a very popular cover at our gigs and one we never tire of playing.

Weekend gigs

Saturday night saw us playing at The Wharf in Welford- a good venue with a good receptive crowd.  The gig was a tough one for us though- very cold fingers aren’t conducive to good string playing!   Despite Mark’s attempt to break all of his strings the audience still danced- must’ve been the beer. Sunday saw us in The Wetmore Whistle with Northern Monkey- what a great band they are!  We’re...
