G'day
folkies!
We've
been working hard since our Torriano gig, collecting and learning new
songs for our two upcoming gigs. These are our first ever HEADLINE
sets, so we're very nervous and excited! We're using it as an
opportunity to inject something new into our line up so, when you
come see us, as well as hearing new songs, you'll be seeing new
instruments to boot (Even Jess has been persuaded to pick up her
flute and whistles! A mean feat indeed!) So our next gig is on the
20th of October at The Lost Horizons Folk Club in London. Details
can be found here: http://www.losthorizonsfolkclub.btck.co.uk/
It promies to be a fab night with other fab musicians and singers
performing too (Hee hee, we have support acts) Come along if you can.
It's not a club we know, so we're excited to meet new people, and
find out who recommended us to them!!
Our
next gig after that, and our final one of the year, is at the Folk at
the Pumphouse club in Watford. November 16th. If you haven't seen
us yet this year, and you want to, make sure you come to this! Our
whole year of rehearsals and performances has been leading to this 80
MINUTE set!!! Lots of hard, hard work going in to this, to double
our repertoire. This gig is a huge challenge for us, but a real
milestone and a very exciting prospect. Again, we haven't been to
this club, but we do know the people who run it, and we're going to
make sure we join them for an open stage night at some point before
our gig, just to say hello and make ourselves known. Details for
that gig can be found here: http://www.pumphouse.info/cgi-bin/pumphouse/site.pl?skin=blues&type=wiki&mode=view&fn=pump_house_folk
We're also still working on our ep. It doesn't look like we'll get the chance to sell it at Lost Horizons like we'd hoped, but we will be able to "release" it soon, so we'll keep you updated on that.
We'll try not to leave it so long until the next post this time, but we've all been so busy in our non folky lives that we've had to put this sort of stuff on the back burner a little bit.
See you soon
