Sunday 14th January

Well, folks, happy new year! We've had a good rest over christmas, and are raring to go! With 2 gigs in 3 days this coming week, we're going to be busy.

Thursday 18th @ The Swan is our last gig for a long while as a full band; John (bass) is off to live in Barcelona !! So hope you can come.. will be brilliant, as there are loads of friends coming. Saturday sees us in Oxted @ a Charity "do" - email us for details of that; it's a proper huge stage, so that will be fun! See you there....

What a great gig last Sunday afternoon! It got off to a good start with some old favourites and a great audience. The second set was marked by a great rendition of "She Goes On" after an audience request, a troop of guys dressed ready for Arabian Nights, and some marvellous singalongs by the Portsmouth Posse (PP) - yes, they were up just for the gig! (and are now "regulars"!). A few encores, including "Throw Your Arms Around Me" - a top acoustic show !!

About 45 minutes after the end of the second set, and a lot of badgering and nagging later (and minus Glenn the drummer), the "PP" managed to get Chris, Lee, John and Steve back up for 3 more songs, to rapturous applause from all.

A thoroughly exhausting but enjoyable evening - watch out for out-of-London gigs coming up soon !

Tuesday 19th September

Greetings! We are all now back from holiday and psyched up for the gig at the Bar Offshore THIS SUNDAY 24th September. It's at 5pm and promises to be a cracking performance (and may go some way to placate some of you who are missing Neil's concerts in Australia this week!)

We are still working on the sound and video files from the last gig, and hope to have them up really soon.

Many thanks go out to all those who showed so much support for a Bristol date (see our Message Board) - we are finalising arrangements, and hope to announce a firm gig very soon. Meanwhile - see you sunday !

New photos added from the Bar Offshore gig at the weekend - check out the hat (there was only one, we just passed it round a lot!); it went very well with our shirts that day !

P.S. If we don't get back to your mail right away, it's cos we're on holiday this week! We'll get back to you soon..

WHAT a cracking gig today! The Bar Offshore had excellent turnout, an amazing atmosphere (despite the video cameras up our noses !), with several new venue offers outside of London. Oh, and we were offered £100 to keep going by two of the audience - but the bass drum pedal broke :( - still, it was brilliant fun !!!
