Getting back to it

Well, we’re back gigging tonight for the first time since we finished the summer album tour in Finedon near Kettering at the beginning of September. So much has happened in the last 6 weeks that this gig seems like an age ago – but we’re somewhat refreshed (well, some of us are) and really looking forward to getting back playing tonight.

We had our first rehearsal with all 5 of us present for the first time in two months on Tuesday, and ended the session with a new song, which we plan to have a crack at tonight. Those of you who follow us regularly will know that the rate of our output is not exactly what you would call prolific – but two new songs in as many months isn’t bad going, although I make no promises that this will continue…..

So it’s Folking Live tonight, which is actually the night I (Phil) run. The fact that I’ve booked us for it does reek of complete self promotion I admit, however it’s a nice little gig to get us back in to the swing of things and The Cellar Bar at South Hill Park is a really nice cosy little venue with great sound – although pretty horrendous toilets it has to be said!

The bill is really good (even if I do say so myself…) with one of the best bands I’ve seen in ages coming down to play. If you do one thing today, check out Lewis Garland & The Kett Rebellion – www.myspace.com/lewisgarland, it’ll be well worth your time and effort.

So, be good to see some of you there - £5 on the door, 8pm start and you should be able to get back for at least half of Question Time.

The rest of the year looks pretty solid, with a few London dates confirmed – and no doubt more writing to be done. It’s nearly Christmas, and then it’ll be on to record album number 2…..hectic!

A month to go...

With the launch growing nearer and ticket sales growing larger we're all getting quite excited about getting out tonight to start gigging again. We've had a bit of a quiet few weeks, largely due to my holidaying obsession visiting Cyprus, Dublin and Greece all in the space of 6 weeks – but we're now all in the country and here to stay for a good couple of months at least!

We had our 1st get together as a 5-piece for the first time in aaaages on Tuesday night, which was thoroughly enjoyable! We all got together, had a good old chin wag and ate rum cake before knuckling down to rehearse the set, reminding ourselves of our own material! We also had a bit of a mini jam, hoping to get something new together for you guys to enjoy listening to this Summer.

So – business as usual seems to be the way forward for the foreseeable future. Thanks to all of you who have purchased tickets already, and for those of you who haven't – get booking! It's going to be a cracking night for all included, so make yourself a part of it!

And... for those of you joining us in Godalming this eve – we look forward to seeing you.
