Festivals, sun etc....

It's official. I've checked every available data source possible and everything is coming to the same conclusion. It's summer.

Yes indeed, it's that special time of year when office workers the country wide stop smirking at those working outside in the rain and start looking on with longing desire. The 3 till 5:30 dead zone of the working day becomes even longer with the sheer will to get to the pub, and the whole shebang is done with a glazed over brain as the nights get far too hot to sleep.

Or, as we prefer to say, welcome to festival season! These days there are more on than ever, with seemingly every farmer with a field that isn't filled with dung more than happy to fill it with artists and fans. Its a glorious time – sunshine, beer and good times follow. Oh, and have I mentioned that we are appearing at a few of these festivals? Of course we are, you didn't think I could go a whole blog posting without a cheap plug did you? Starting this Saturday, we are at a few. A full list can be seen at the ever present website.

Other than the news that for the next 3 weeks Britain will grind to a halt as people head outside to worship the sun, there is nothing new to report. We are putting the finishing touches to our set for the June 12th album launch at Jagz, and gearing up for our biggest gig run to date. You will be seeing an awful lot of us in the coming weeks. Hopefully, you will also be hearing an awful lot on the radio, however more on that as it happens.

Oh, and also just to use the communal band blog as my own personal soapbox, you have got to love Gordon Brown. Yesterday, a poll put Labour 3rd in the popular vote behind the Lib Dems and Torys and only just ahead of UKIP. Today, to address this disturbing situation on the brink of a bashing at local and European elections, the embattled PM went onto GMTV to talk about Susan Boyle.

Till next time folks...
