Three plus one

Two gigs in a day again on Saturday, we opened the day for We Shall Overcome xmas special for the second week running at The Station in Ashton-Under-Lyne, and then on to The Kings Arms in Salford for 'What's The Alternative...?' Those of you that were there will have noticed there were four of us...
Ann-Marie Crowley has supplied backing vocals on both sides of the new single and will be joining us live whenever she can. Its neat to have the original 1989 layout back again with dual vocals and also means we can reintroduce some female voiced songs from the old days. We're all pretty damn excited about this.
We'll be back live in the new year, but that's it for 2015 now. We're back in the studio tonight and still cracking on with recording for the new album.

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.
