Summer is here

What a lovely weekend it was! We don't quite know how, as the combination of Emma planning a birthday camping trip to the south coast and it being a bank holiday would seem to guarantee huge amounts of rain, but somehow it stayed dry! Until last night anyhow, but as we're mostly back in our offices (Gethin/Phil), pubs (Adrian), and study/living room/toilet (or wherever else Ben finds inspiration today) we couldn't really care less about a bit of rain...

Anyway, the weather had be looking forward to some of the outdoor gigs that we have coming up, and I thought that would be a good excuse to remind all of you lovely people of a few of the dates coming up in the next few months.

We kick off the festival season with an afternoon of music at Gostrey Meadow Charity Fair on the 6th June. This is pretty much bang in the middle of Farnham town centre, and is free to everyone, so there's pretty much no excuse not to come along.

We then, of course, have our album launch on June 12th, but I'm sure you all know more than enough about that, so I'll say no more about that...

June 14th brings us to our home(ish) town of Bracknell, to support the wonderful Lisa Knapp at The Wilde Theatre in South Hill Park. This should be a great gig, and is a brilliant opportunity for us to support a top-notch alternative-folk artist.

Some other highlights of the summer include:

• Big Day Out at South Hill Park, Bracknell, another free-entry event on 27th June


• A trio of London gigs on the 9th, 10th and 20th July at The Station Hotel, Lewisham, The Spice of Live, Soho, and The Half Moon, Putney


• Our first Birmingham gig at The Dog, West Bearwood on the 9th August


• Weyfest on 5th September.

There are, of course, plenty of others, and our debut album will be available to buy at all of them, so check out our schedule at www.allthingsconsidered.org.uk to find one near you!

We hope to see all of you very soon, will as much sunshine as possible!

A bit of a news update

A quick one to keep you up to date with what we're doing in the near future - we've just been confirmed as playing at the Halfmoon Putney's Unplugged night on 20th July, and in the next few weeks we're playing Susie Clarke's "Living Room Players" night at The Star, Godalming on 14th May, supporting Rory Ellis, again at the Halfmoon Putney on 21st May, Gostrey Meadow Charity Fair in Farnham on the 6th June and supporting Lisa Knapp at The Wilde Theatre, Bracknell on 14th June.

Not forgetting, of course, our Album Launch on the 12th June at Jagz, Ascot, tickets are on sale now, and are flying off the shelves (as it were), so be sure to get yours soon - either from any of us or through our website or Myspace. Tickets are £6, or you can grab yourself a bargain by pre-ordering an album at the same time for just £10 for the two.
