Scootfest 15 September 2013

Excellent news - A third band has confirmed for Sunday 15 September; so The Universal will now be be playing in addition to The Persuasion and The Speed Of Sound. It's free too.

I met the sound engineer today and the PA will be loud enough; which is always good to know. 

The day will have a real festival-feel with American Classic Cars, lots of Scooters, food, drink, a Scooter accessory market, Scooter-portrait photography and of course plenty of music; both live and DJ'd. 

Scootfest is part of Rossendale 60sFestival which lasts the whole weekend throughout the valley, the Sunday music event is all at one venue at the Old Cobblers Inn, Rawtenstall (BB4 6HR) so it deserves a separate name.

This particular Vespa is unlikely to be there as I photographed it in Berlin last week. But never mind, there will be others.

Rehearsals

We're live again as a three piece; guitar/vocal, bass & drums.

See us at Scootfest in 60sFest at Rawtenstall, in a marquee outside the Old Cobblers on 15Sep2013. 

The line up features Mr Kevin Roache on bass and Mr Raul Carreno on drums. 

The Speed Of Sound are featured in the new English-language edition of Lord Litter's Magic Music Box on KWTF and the web, the listen-again link will follow.

Day In Day Out - the video

There is a new addition to the video-bar: Day In Day Out, from The Speed Of Sound At Tree Level. 

If you can't see the video bar you can watch it here 

Filmed in colour overlooking Manchester.
Had to get up 'a bit early' for filming, but the light was just right and the birdsong at the beginning was recorded live with the video shoot and left in because it sounded as if it should be there.
