 We haven't had much in the way of radio plays, but we now have two programs coming up with a bit of us on them:
Mike Harding (right) came to our gig in Bolton recently and liked our new song 'Stuff' which he has promised to play on his show on Wed March 24th at 7pm (even though it's not available on a CD yet - sorry!). Should be second song in, and if you like it, then please write to Mike by clicking his contact page here. Thanks!!
 Our other bit of radio is with Sue Marchant (left) who we met at a gig at CB2 in Cambridge and we'll be on Radio Cambridgshire at 9pm on Mon March 29th. We'll be playing a couple of tracks live plus maybe one or two more from our CDs and demonstrating our dynamic personalities. We'll also be plugging our gig at Hitchin FC on Easter Sunday (4th April) where we'll be sharing the bill with Liz Simcock and her band. This now seems to be an almost annual event for Liz and us and it's going to be a great night - it always is! (tempting providence isn't it?!!)

 Marko (the phantom film maker from Coventry) has put another old clip of us on YouTube, so I have now put it on our 'UsTube' video page. This one's also from 2002 (see below) and it's of the chaotic but popular banjo instrumental 'Traffic Jam'. We may get round to recording this properly one day - if we can ever summon up the requisite amount of energy needed when there's no audience!

 Yet another video surfacing. This time of 'Serenades' at our gig last week at Acoustic Routes in Cambridge (thanks Bernard)
We're recording this tune for our new CD this week. We'll put an mp3 of the recording in progress shortly.

We were sent some old video footage this morning from 2002, which might interest the guitarists out there, with Dave trying to remember some of his old tunes plus an old rendition of 'Amsterdam' (and others if you go to YouTube). Click here to go to the video page or click one of the pictures.

We returned home today from our 'wild weekend' tour of the north of England. We met some lovely people in Bolton, Northumberland and Southport. Can't wait to do it again! Here are some snaps of us bickering our way up the country with really up to date navigation... more on the pictures page.

Dave's new song on tenor
guitar has been completed but not recorded and is now called 'The Loneliest Man In The Western World' - not autobiographical he says... but who's listening?!!
We're going to wait until a bit more gets investigated and written on the tenor before unleashing it at gigs... and there is our wild weekend tour coming up next weekend: 3 north of England dates in Bolton, Southport and Northumberland (details here). Dave was a bit worried that he couldn't play a normal 6 string guitar after so much playing on the tenor. Should be alright by the 5th though...

Got some serious recording done on Boo's new song 'River Runs Deep' today (click here for mp3 sample). Guitar, banjo, vocal, harmony vocal and cajon were all put down all neat and tidy with the parts we worked on before Christmas.
A new song has appeared thanks to Dave's new tenor guitar called 'Life Goes On'. A few lyrics missing at the moment but almost finished. This probably means a pickup will have to be fitted to the Gibson TG-25 for gigs, which will probably mean changing its adjustable bridge to a fixed one... oh dear.

 Here's Dave and a friend from a couple of days ago.
We're trying to keep going during blizzard conditions and we dutifully rehearsed today for a gig on Monday which may or may not happen depending on the weather. Keeping our fingers crossed...
We also worked on Boo's song 'The River Runs Deep' which will get an outing shortly but probably not for the next gig. You can find the lyrics here.
