A radio session and an unannounced gig

We played a live acoustic session on Newusb Radio, it makes a change to be quieter sometimes and we do like to move things round a bit, it featured stripped down versions of Love, Seen It All Before, Checkered Land and The Wargame.
and
The Community Centre where our rehearsal rooms are held an open night and we played an unannounced electric set for them:

Set List:

Elizabeth Gaskell House gig

It's a pleasure to announce that some songs from the new album will be making their live debut at a very special gig in Manchester taking place in the drawing room of Elizabeth Gaskell's House on 7th April. A rare acoustic gig for us, in an intimate room full of history and music.

And... its a double header we have Turner performing a live set too, she'll be accompanied by Nikki playing an 1890's piano. This is a unique experience.

Shay Rowan did a photo shoot with us at Elizabeth Gaskell House before Ann-Marie joined us a couple of those are pictures are below.

Tickets will go live soon http://www.elizabethgaskellhouse.co.uk/events/turner-and-speed-sound
