recording and radio

Its intensely busy at the moment and as a lot of that is recording it is exceptionally good, we're back in the studio again twice this week starting work on some more. Its been a triple dose of radio with Radio Woking, 6Towns Radio and IURFM (in Northern Ireland) all getting in on it, thanks to Sean Cooke, Alan May and Gerry Martin for playing us. Comparisons to Nick Cave, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan and David Bowie were/are all acceptable and entirely welcome. We have one more gig in October and then we'll be concentrating on the recording side for a month and hopefully we'll have a new video brewing soon too.

A large part of the last week has looked like this, with the amps mic'd up and recording in progress. We still managed two gigs in the same day at The Station in Ashton-Under-Lyne and The Thirsty Scholar in Manchester as part of We Shall Overcome festival, last weekend. Big thanks to Pauline Town and Martin Mellor for organising the two WSO gigs we that played and it was a pleasure to be involved. Severe backlighting ensures Paul won't be recognised from that photograph.

Ruby Friday

An absolutely fantastic gig at Ruby Lounge on Friday, special thanks for the dancing and for buying CDs, thanks to The Transmitters and extra thanks to The Chords UK for playing and making it such a great night. And also thanks to Alan May of 6Towns Radio's 'Glory Boys' show and Paul Lomax for their photographs.  
All ace-ness apart from the sound engineer falling off the stage and twisting his ankle before we started; hope its better Chris! Massively appreciated that you kept going through the pain
