In the last couple of days we’ve been confirmed as the support act for Idlewild’s lead singer Roddy Woomble’s solo show in Reading on Tuesday night (1st Feb).
This is a great opportunity for us in our quest to work with more high profile artists – and although very short notice (we were only 100% confirmed yesterday!), I hope there is still time for a few of you to grab some tickets and come along.
The venue is Sub89 in Reading and tickets for the show are £11 and available from here. Doors are 7.30pm.
The show will be all seated – and we’re expecting Roddy to play tracks from his solo albums as well as the odd Idlewild favourite. We’ll be on first of course, probably doing about half an hour. It should be a great night.

Dec News
Folks, we have new video footage on our You Tube page at www.youtube.com/user/allthingsconsideredu, and also for next few days you can hear our track played by Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music.

End of Another Year!
Well - we've come to the end of another year and it seems to be finishing the way it started, with stupid amounts of snow on the ground and things being cancelled left, right and centre. Nice for a day or two but bloody annoying after that!
Luckily we've finished gigging for the year, with probably more travelling this year than any other in our time as a band. Bath, Bristol, Norwich, Portsmouth - various parts of Essex, Lincolnshire etc. The cars have certainly racked up the miles.
The studio sessions have started really well for the new album, which will hopefully be all done and dusted by the spring. You never realise quite how much there is to do until you start, but we're pretty solidly plugging away at the moment, with the hope we should have all the major bits down by February. There should be a few bits and pieces we can show you all around that time, so we'll keep you posted.
We do however have a couple of the newer tracks you'll find on the record up on our You Tube page. Some great footage was shot when we played a gig alongside our good friends Spriggan Mist a couple of months back, which we have now uploaded on to our page.
You can check out footage of us playing Selfpity and also one of our much more recent tracks - the first airing of Past Times at www.youtube.com/user/allthingsconsideredu
We've also recently had some more national radio play, which is always nice. Tom Robinson (yes, he of 2-4-6-8 Motorway fame) played Clear Your Conscience on his BBC 6 Music show. If you'd like to hear that, you can for the next few days by visiting www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wnyfd#segments and clicking the 'Listen Now' button.
Anyway - we'll close by thanking each and every one of you who have supported us this year, whether it be punter or promoter. As with all bands trying to make an impact we need all of you on board and we're extremely grateful you have chosen to take an interest in our music.
We hope the new album when it is ready won't disappoint!
Have a great Xmas, and we'll see you all in Lewisham for one of our favourite gigs on the circuit, on January 13th.
Cheers

Recording Update and Jagz gig with Martha Tilston
Hello Everyone!
Just thought we'd give you a quick update on weekend number 1 in the studio.
Basically, it went great - and album number 2 is already taking shape very nicely. We managed to get 6 guide tracks recorded, with the proper percussion and bass takes recorded live and on the whole correct! We then had time to get some of Adrian's guitar parts down as well - which by the end were sounding really good.
We're attempting to get a much fuller, bolder sound to this record and so far, with a few nicely placed mics we are achieving it. A very long way to go yet, but we're all already itching to get back in and continue.
Hopefully we'll have the odd snippet of the sessions to show you all at some point soon!
We have three gigs coming up next week - and it pretty much (apart from a short set in Guildford just confirmed for 7th December) will mark the end of our gigging for the year. We play The Hoy Folk Club, Leigh-on-Sea on Tuesday next week, and also doing a set in Newbury on Sunday with our good friends Scattered Few and the brilliant Amy's Ghost.
However - the big one for us next week is at one of our favourite venues, Jagz in Ascot where on Wednesday next week (24th) we support the quite fantastic Martha Tilston.
Martha is a truly one of a kind artist, with a wonderful voice, thoughtful lyrics and a really warm demeanour on stage. She is an artist that influences a good few of us in the band so this is going to be a great night.
It would be absolutely fantastic if we can get a few familiar faces to this night. Tickets are £10 in advance or £12 on the night, and that will be money so worthwhile spending. You can get advance tickets from this link - www.wegottickets.com/event/93373 or if you e-mail info@allthingsconsidered.org.uk with the full names of people requiring tickets, we'll get your names on the door for you to pay the lower price when you turn up on the night.
We're really looking forward to it - and it will be great to see some of you there. It will be a brilliant night!
Cheers

Lightwater gig
Just a quick one folks to say we'll be doing a set at The Crossley Club in Lightwater tomorrow (Friday 12th), on at about 9pm. The night is part of the Spriggan Mist Presents series, and will include sets from our good friends Savour the Flavour, and obviously Spriggan Mist, along with a couple of other acts.
Be great to see a few heads down for that one - our last before we start recording the 'tricky' second album. Entry is £2, and it all kicks off around 7.30pm.
Also, just a reminder that we're doing a short set supporting Martha Tilston at Jagz in Ascot on Wednesday 24th Nov. Check out the gigs page for ticket links.
One last plug - if you haven't already, please follow us on facebook - www.facebook.com/pages/All-Things-Considered/14405050679. With the new album due shortly, we're really wanting to build this page. Cheers!

Starting on the next album...
Well – 3 weeks to go until the new album sessions start. We have a fair idea about what we’re doing, what direction we’re heading in with this new recording and how we want the finished product to sound. Whether that’ll change once we get in there is anyone’s guess, but we’re all starting to get excited – although we’d be lying if we said we weren’t a little apprehensive about what the next couple of months will bring.
This album will in the main consist of material that we have written in the last few months. Whereas with the first one, we’d been gigging most of the songs that ended up on the album for a long time before, so knew them inside out – this time most of it will be pretty new to us. Although we have slowly bought a few new songs in to the set this last 18 months or so, in the main the tracks on this new record will basically be written and then recorded – with very little gigging exposure. It’s an exciting way to do things, and we kind of hope that as the songs will be so fresh to us, that enjoyment of playing new material will shine through (although that will also be down to Al Heslop’s excellent production skills!).
Another thing that is different to the first one, is that we have given ourselves a much stricter time limit for recording. We hope that another way of getting a real spontaneous, exciting feel to the record will be to get it recorded over a period of a couple of months, as opposed the 8 or so months it took us to do the last one. That idea will probably come back to bite us on the arse, but you have to try these things don’t you!
The new material is on the whole a lot more upbeat than the stuff on the previous record. The previous record was a document of what we had done in the first 18 months or so of being together. Some of the songs came from sessions that Adrian and Emma had early on, some of them from when previous bass player Jim was in the band, and only really a couple that we put together from start to finish as a full band. This new stuff we can safely say is pretty much all material that we have written together as a band, so we hope it will be a much collective sounding effort.
So, November 13th and 14th is when it all kicks off, and we’ll expect to record throughout the rest of November, all December and then in to January.......with hopefully something resembling a finished album at the beginning to middle of Feb, ready for duplication and getting out to the press etc for a spring time release. A hard old ask, but we’ll give it a go.
We will still have the odd gig while we record, as otherwise Emma gets irritated. We support the fantastic Leatherat (www.myspace.com/leatherat) at The Farnham Maltings next Friday (29th) and then have slots in Lightwater, Leigh-on-Sea and Newbury before the end of the year. I imagine we’ll add one to sign off the year with in December – so keep an eye on the gig page.
Cheers for now
