Hello Everyone
You may (or may not) have noticed we've been pretty quiet recently. So, we thought it time for a quick update as the long hot summer (?) draws to a close.
At the end of July we said a fond farewell to Ben, our bass player for the last 3 years - who has now departed these shores for the sights and sounds of Boston, Massachusetts. He's quite blatantly forgotten about us already as he's not replied to any e-mails we've lovingly sent asking how he is - but there you go.
We'd like to thank everyone who came along to see Ben off at our last gig, and also go on record in wishing him the best of luck. It was (mostly) a pleasure working with you good sir.
We're currently making arrangements with regards the bass player position, and hopefully can announce something soon.
Those of you who saw us live for the few shows we did over the summer months may also have noticed Emma had put on a little weight... Well, we're delighted to announce that she gave birth to a bouncing baby boy last weekend, a couple of weeks ahead of schedule! 7lb 2ozs, and the little scamp goes by the fine traditional name of Robert Lee Baldwin. You can always trust a guy called Robert I think.
All our love and best wishes go to her and Darren.
And then there were three (well, Emma's hiatus will probably last about a week knowing her).
The three of us are back in the studio this week for continued recording. We still have lots to do, but we're getting there with the new record. Some of it is close to completion, which is a great place to be.
So, as we've been suggesting for ages, we've uploaded one of the new album tracks to our players on our various websites. Unheard Sounds and Empty Motions has been in our set for ages now - but have you ever heard it with Gethin's backing vocals...? Let us know what you think. It may not be the final mix - but its pretty close.
So there we go. There is no time frame of when we'll be back fully up and running - but I imagine we'll start to get a bit itchy to go out and do some shows pretty soon, so keep your eyes peeled for some news on that.
Hope you're all well
Cheers

Any Bass Players Out There?????
So, the worst kept secret is out – Gethin has shaved all his hair off! Well, that’s not really the big news, but it is certainly news-worthy. Let us know what you think at the upcoming gigs.
The ‘big’ news is this. As many of you probably already know, Ben, our dependable, reliable and downright perfect bass player for the last 2 and a half years is off to the United States, to study – not just to eat loads and watch copious amounts of football, although that will no doubt happen in the first year at least.
He leaves us at the end of July, and we’re very close to confirming his ‘farewell’ show – which will hopefully be at our album launch venue, Jagz in Ascot on Friday 29th July. We will obviously provide all details once this is 100% sorted, but it would be great to fill the place, so note the date!
This however obviously leaves us with a big gap to fill, and that isn’t a jibe I promise! We are now actively looking for a new bass player – the plan being the new recruit coming in to the set-up sometime before Ben goes, with the view to taking over from him when we commence gigging towards the end of this year.
Please, if you are a bass player yourself and fancy life as part of the infamous ATC, or you know of anyone that may be interested – do get in touch – info@allthingsconsidered.org.uk is the e-mail address to contact, or there is always through our Facebook page www.facebook.com/allthingsconsidered. The more people who know we are looking, the more chance we have of finding the right replacement, so it’s all hands on deck – that alright? Thanks!
Few gigs coming up – as summer is just round the corner. We’re playing a nice laid back slot at Jagz Open Mic night tomorrow (17th) which is in the front bat, not the function room. There is the possibility of a slot on 29th May (will confirm when confirmed!) and then numerous dates in June including a return to Lincolnshire and The Crawley Folk Festival. Good times.

Spotify and Gigs
First up, we're very excited to announce that our debut album, Scarecrow, is (finally!) available on Spotify. So, any of you who haven't bought it yet (shame on you...) can now go and listen for free, and we still get paid for it. Win-win situation!
After a quiet few months, our gigging schedule is heating up too - we're very excited about next week, which brings us to headline Vic Cracknell's night at Propaganda, Fleet on Wednesday 6th April. Free entry, with 2-for-1 pizzas, and support from Morrison, Dan Grinter and Jonathan Thompson, it promises to be a great night. There's some more information at facebook - sign up for the event so we know if you're coming!
We're also back in London soon, at the renowned Bedford in Balham, on Wednesday 20th April. This is a great venue, with a lovely live room out the back, including a balcony, so you can throw stuff at us if we're really bad... There's always a great line-up there, so it's well worth the trip down, and again is free entry.
Think that's it - remember to check back for details of more gigs, we've got a busy summer coming up, so hope to see lots of you!

March Update, Local Gigs
Hello!
We thought it time for a little update – seeing as it’s been a while since we last spoke.
The last time we put a post out I think we were just about to play the support to Idlewild frontman Roddy Woomble in Reading. Well, you’ll be pleased to know that went off without a hitch! It was a great night – a really nice crowd, good music and the headline act were excellent company. We’re hopeful of a few more of those support gigs this year.
We have a few live dates coming up in the next month or so to tell you about – and it would be great to see some of you there for them.
This Thursday (10th March) we are playing what is probably now our annual (or at least 6 monthly) show at The Cellar Bar, South Hill Park in Bracknell.
Very much a hometown show... well for some of us anyway. This one is actually a full Artree Music showcase, as it features our little acoustic stable of Phoebe Wright and Scattered Few on the bill. Should be a really nice event – with tickets £5 on the door. It kicks off at 8pm.
On 6th April we travel the relatively short distance to Fleet for a feature set at the newish Propaganda Presents night, funnily enough at The Propaganda Music Canteen. This is one of the great Vic Cracknell’s events – which we always love playing and are well worth attending because the standard is always stupidly high. It is also free entry – so no excuses!
The album is slowly but surely coming together. We don’t have any further news with regards to release but we’re very pleased with how it is sounding. This is a big release for us so we’re making sure we use all the time we can getting it absolutely bang on. I’m sure there will be a few dates set in stone soon. We will obviously keep you posted.
Anyway – thanks all for the continued support, and it’ll be great to see a few of you in Bracknell and Fleet in the coming weeks.
Cheers

Roddy Woomble Support
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.
