Okay say a long overdue blog on whats going on in the world of the Getaways.
We've have been busy (well a little) doing things over the past 3 months.  We played a great gig at the Social in January which invoved Desgsy's birthday - buzzin!  And sonce then we have been recording some new tunes - four tracks in all.  This should hopefully be ready for your listening pleaure soon.  No plans yet on how we are going to release it so will let you all know.
As you can see from our page we are playing Proud Galleries in London this Sunday (29/3) followed by our first Brum gig of the year at the Sunflower Lounge.  This will be the start of many gigs before the summer.
Will have some photos up of recordings soon
