Awright We are in London doing things on the radio. You can hear us do some songs including a certain Abba reprise on Absolute Radio drive time show http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/ AND on the lovely Janice Long of BBC radio 2's show TONIGHT which you should also be able to listen-again to, should you fall asleep before we appear. Hope you enjoy. Hope we do too. Nah then. Carey.

hello all
we are back from our north american tour as of about 8 hours ago. despite some difficult circumstances we had a great time and it was a pleasure playing to you all/y'all. hope it won't be long till the next time. apologies to those who turned up to the cancelled shows, we put the word out as best as we could with the short notice and we'll give you information on the rescheduled shows pretty soon.

i've had two hours sleep and now it's time to announce the european tour if you haven't already got the mailout.

***(pointless fact of the day- Beat It by Michael Jackson was one of the first songs I ever learned on the keyboard when I was about 5. I rocked.)***

take care of yourselves

carey x

Hi folks
Wanted to let you know that the rest of the US tour is going ahead as planned. Sadly Gav has had to return to the UK because of a death in the family. Our thoughts, love and sympathy are with him. Thanks for all your good wishes over the last few days and apologies to those who were intending to see us at Alabama and Georgia. Tickets will be refundable but we hope to reschedule the shows for later in the year.

Hi, we’re very sorry about this but I’m afraid we’ve had to cancel the shows in Birmingham, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia which were to take place in the next few days due to some upsetting personal circumstances. Sincere apologies to those that are disappointed by this. We’ll give you further information when we have it.

Yes. We are in Los Angeles where, tonight only, we plan to entertain wildly with our powerhouse performance art at the Henry Fonda Theatre. We truly look forward to seeing many of you.

For those of you who have chosen or been chosen to live elsewhere, you can still get to spend some time with us by clicking on this here link, at which point your browser will take you to our new video for Honey In the Sun!

It's great. You can actually see us travelling in time. If you're attentive enough.

Very best wishes

Kenny


Oh aye, I forgot. You can also see us all dressed up, playing French Navy on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on Monday the 15th June. If your telly doesn't live near there, I'm sure someone lovely will Youtube it.

Well good evening all

Ever wondered what Camera Obscura think about wierd monkey-loving pop conjuror Michael Jackson?

Well so has Paul Morley so he asked us. You can go here and see what happened AND you can watch the band in an exclusive performance of French Navy at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. Investigate HERE



To further your viewing pleasure, here is a series of videos in which Tracyanne talks about the songs on My Maudlin Career and what they mean to her see HERE


If you want to be good, helpful fans you can tell me how many is too many dresses to take on tour, and you can suggest what American fiction I should be taking to pass the time. We will be Workin Day and Night to Rock with You before you know it

Thanks
carey x

Good morning

I am just about to make Tracyanne lunch so I need to go and prepare so I don't mess it up.
