Just a quick note to let you know about our gig this coming Friday. Apart from the fact it's going to be completely brilliant you need to know that if you're coming we need your name in advance so you can save money on the entry fee. Do this on facebook here:

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=35535302701

Or message us before midday on friday to save the cash. Here are the major details:

If you confirm you'll be there on facebook, your name (as it appears on facebook) will be on a special guest list which entitles you to an entry fee of £6, provided you arrive before 9pm. Whoop!

If you arrive after 9, or can't remember to say your name then you'll have to pay £8. And kick yourself.

(Please tell anyone who hasn't yet confirmed they need to before midday on Friday)

Alternatively you could buy tickets using this link:

http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=290434

As it's a Friday night and it's a fairly small venue it's seriously worth getting tickets before hand. It costs £6, there's no booking fee and you collect the tickets from the venue.

Here's the Soho Revue Bar website:

and directions:

MAP!!!

With luck we'll be on stage at 9.15

See you there!

Hello to The Philbys' Network,

The BIG news this week is that we can confirm that 'Freefalling' will be our first single. Its coming out on 27th October - digital format only via iTunes. Our friends at AWAl have helped us put this together.

And the track has been sent out to the radio stations this week, so fingers crossed it may get a few spins in the coming weeks.

Come & see us this Wednesday, 17/9 live at Bar Rumba - onstage at 8.45pm.

Just a quick note to say thank you for Friday at Tommy McFlynns - we had a great gig, always a pleasure. Next one is at Bar Rumba on 17th Sep - but we'll be in touch before then.


In the meantime, there are a couple of things going on ...


First up, Freefalling currently 32 in the Tourdates unsigned charts. If you play it or download from their site, we'll go up. Unfortunately you have to register which is a pain, so we understand if don't want to do that. Check it out here;

Also, we entered the Orange Unsigned competition and voting has started. Again you have to register which is stupid!!!!! So if you don't want to give your details to 'The Man' at Orange we understand. But if you do want to give The philbys a bit of a push onto TV then you can do so here:


To register: http://orangeunsignedact.co.uk/


To vote:   http://orangeunsignedact.co.uk/acts/the-philbys


And finally, we've just added a new date at 93 Feet East on Wed 15th October


See you there.

First up, thaks to everyone who came down to The Proud Galleries. It was a great night and the promoter wants us back, so watch this space.

A few of the forthcoming dates have changed. The Miller date has shifted onto Thursday 25th Sep. Here are the dates in September;

5th Sep - Tommy McFlynns, Camden

17th Sep - Bar Rumba

25th Sep - The Miller

The October date at The Grand is now cancelled. In fact, all dates at the Grand are cancelled becasue they are stopping live music at the venue which is a terrible shame. Anyway, there will be more dates during October and we'll announce these and more news of the first single release in the next week or so.

Its all good!
