A swift return to one of the Think Of The Children! album launch venues, this time as a double-header with the most excellent Leatherat, who are a very well-established "progressive folk" band from Banbury. Both bands will be playing full sets, so don't be late. Probably a good idea to get a ticket in advance too, not just because they're only £8 (£10 on the door), but also because just over the border in Oxfordshire Leatherat gigs often sell out.
A first outing for Also Eden at a Bristol venue that Rich last played with Midnight Rambler in about 1997. Support band is Dark Energy, who last played with us at The Louisiana, back in August. This gig is Free Entry!
A first trip up North for us, "returning the favour" to Morpheus Rising. Door tax: £6.
It'd be rude to come "oop north" and not take the opportunity to play more than one gig, so we've secured a slot a The Avenue's 7th Xmas Festival - in aid of The Cystic Fibrosis Trust. We're playing at 5.30pm, so come along, say hello, and stay for the evening (there are bands on before us too).
Short-notice gig - supporting the excellent Godsticks.
We'll be rounding off album launch weekend with this support slot at the Robin 2.
This will be the second of two gigs to launch our new album, Think of the Children! The 12 Bar is an excellent venue and we're very much looking forward to playing it for the first time.
This will be the first of two gigs to launch our new album, Think of the Children. We'll be playing a good proportion - indeed maybe all - of the album.
Please do come along to this one, which we've booked at short-notice as a bit of a warm-up - it's only 4 quid in advance, 5 quid on the door.
We've been invited to headline at this bijou little venue that's quite well known as a regular stop on the up-and-coming band scene. Support band is Dark Energy, featuring a very old friend of Rich's on guitar and vocals.
We're delighted to have been asked to play at this four-day festival, with other acts on the Friday including Godsticks, Morpheus Rising, Heather Findlay, John Otway and Manning.
A home town gig for Rich, albeit that he now lives back in the land of his fathers. Should be good!
We're delighted to be playing at the inaugral outing of the Electric Garden Festival in Blackpool. We'll be there on the Thursday night playing 845pm and supporting Credo. Hope to see you there!
Another night out on the town with our Tinyfish friends, this time at the wonderful Peel - a favourite venue of ours!
We're delighted to be supporting the excellent Tinyfish as they promote their wonderful album "The Big Red Spark". This will be our first outing of 2011 - and the first gig since Rich's accident in July 2010.
