Phew! It’s a whirlwind, this building a band business.

Chris has just joined us, adding some extremely welcome rumble to the mix, and we’re looking for a percussionist to round things off.

We’ve been working hard on arrangements of new songs and, to be honest, it’s sometimes been a bit of a mission – there’s a lot to remember and a lot to rehearse. I’m constantly surprised by the commitment of these wonderful pluckers, turning out for gigs in all sorts of configurations, re-jigging material at the last minutes before we play in front of an audience.

If we fail it won’t be for lack of effort.

We’d like you all to come to our gig at the Wanstead Tap on October 18th – you can buy tickets using the link on the left. By then we’ll have played our first away gig in Wales and we will be absolutely ready to provide a great night’s entertainment. It’s only a fiver, and Dan will be delighted to sell you any of almost 200 local beers and ciders.

Tonight we will all be in the same room for the first time and we’ll try to record a few snippets for you to listen to. I hope the offy has plenty of budget white.
