Happy Sunday Everyone!
Another month is ticking by and life seems to be moving faster than
ever these days. We can't believe its just over a year since we released our debut album Under the Pavement and including our first two EP's 'If this is a gag, i'm in' and 'The Redemtion of Mr Tom' released before it, we've been touring pretty much non-stop for two years. Not that we would have it any other way though!
We're making good progress with the new album too, which we've been
recording and producing ourselves in between this years festivals and
autumn/winter gigs. We're looking to be releasing a single in March and potentially a live album as well, so keep your ears peeled and eyes to the ground for news!
We would also like to say a massive thankyou to all of you wonderful
fans who have bought the album and turned up in your droves to see us
play - your enthusiasm for the music fills us with much happiness and
makes all the hard work, hard floors, hard drinking and baked bean
dinners we've endured worthwhile! We're very lucky to have you :)
Our last gig of the year will be back in Manchester headlining a stellar bill at the Indigo Clubnight Christmas Party at Moho Live on Friday December 4th.
We will be joined by Rook and The Ravens, Jesse Rose Trip, Sergeant and Nomad Jones - just to name a few. Tickets are a chritsmas cracker at only £5adv, which is an absolute steal!!!
This is definately going to be a sell out so get your tickets quick!
See you on the other side,
Jo, Adam, Snaf, Mugger, Spenny and Nick

It's back, it's back!!
Sideways Saloon comes to Odder..
From 22nd February onwards on the 4th Sunday of every month, The Sideways Saloon label is back with a new night at Odder, Oxford Road, Manchester featuring the best of the UK's folk, alt-country and pysch-pop!
Launch Night - Sunday 22nd February 2009
FREE ENTRY!
8pm - late
WITH LIVE ACTS -
ROOK AND THE RAVENS www.myspace.com/rookandtheravens
SAM HAMMOND (of Ten Bears) www.myspace.com/samhammondmusic
ADAM P. GORMAN (of The Travelling Band) www.myspace.com/adampgorman
Presented by the ever-reliable Travelling Band and associated musical companions, this new night is an amalgamation of the best bits from rapturously received gigs as far a field as Brooklyn and Brazil. Stacked with acts from around the UK that the band has met on their travels to the best home-grown Manchester talent, it's a heady mix of the best old-time tunes and the most innovative nu-folk around.
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS....
ROOK AND THE RAVENS www.myspace.com/rookandtheravens
Rook and The Ravens’ strong harmony driven sound leaves apparent the fact they have stayed true to their original convictions and influences of Neil Young, The Band, Kings of Leon and The Travelling Band. With a much-needed dose of honesty and flair this young band marries exquisite musicianship and songwriting that cuts straight to the core.
After their first gig in April 2007, and a successful 15 date UK tour in November, dates with The Futureheads, Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip and Yeti followed. Appearances at Glastonbury Festival 2008, Summer Sundae Weekender, alongside the likes of Mystery Jets and Cold War Kids, and at Wychwood festival, now appear to have sealed their fate.
SAM HAMMOND (of Ten Bears) www.myspace.com/samhammondmusic
Hailing from Manchester, Ten Bears have been described as one of the hotly tipped groups for 2009.
Ten Bears have been causing a stir around Manchester music venues. Their energetic rock ‘n’ roll delivers up pop slices such as ‘Charlie’, ‘To The Moon’ and ‘Zeus’ - and brings to life the inner mind thinkings of the Ten Bears; Kris Hudson, Luke Daniel, Dom Kozubik, Tim Estherby and Sam Hammond.
Their debut single - ‘Dirt On The Radio’ is released on 19th January 2009, and is also being used as the theme tune to T4's Orange Act Unsigned. They are currently in the studio working with Ric Levy (Yeah Yeah Yeah’s/Mystery Jets), and would love to play for you.
ADAM P. GORMAN (of The Travelling Band) www.myspace.com/adampgorman
"Under The Pavement is the first album from Glastonbury starlets The Travelling Band and is an inventive brand of guitar-laden country folk pop which answers all those asking what the fuss was about” Clash Magazine
“The sounds they generate took me back to my musical roots… Marvellous music to savour and enjoy” Michael Eavis, Glastonbury Festival
“Under The Pavement emits a musical warmth you could toast a marshmallow on” Word magazine
See you there. xxx

Category: Parties and Nightlife
Hi guys,
There's been a bit of confusion on our myspace page and our website about a gig this weekend at The Working Mens Club in Pilton. We're not actually playing there, we're playing at a friends birthday party in the area.
Sorry about the confusion if you were planning on coming, we'll be back playing in Somerset soon!!
Happy New Year from all of us!!!

Hey guys!!
Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to all of you!!
I just wanted to take the time out to say how much we appreciate all of the messages, videos and photos you've sent us since we came back from your beautiful country. We had such an amazing experience and met so many new friends! Thankyou!
We're hopeful to be back in Tbilisi soon!
Sorry if you didn't get one of the CD's at the gig, we only had a few. We hope those of you who did are enjoying them! Remember you can always listen here on myspace and make sure you say hello when you do!!
If you haven't yet - visit our website http://www.thetravellingband.com
There's lots of fun videos to watch and we'll be uploading more and more in the coming weeks! We're hoping to release the album in Georgia at some point, but if you want to download it you can from the website shop in the meantime.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!
peace and love,
Jo

Hi folks. We are pleased to announce shows for the new year. Don't worry if we aren't playing near you yet, as we have plenty more shows to announce very soon. We'd like to say a big thanks for everyone's support this year, to all of you who have attended our shows this year and have bought our album. We've had some great responses and lots of re-orders. Unfortunately our distributor for the album went bust due to the dreaded credit crunch, so the album isn't as available as it was in certain establishments and at www.thetravellingband.com. We're working on this and will have it sorted soon. For now though may i recommend buying it straight from Piccadilly Records at www.piccadillyrecords.co.uk. Thanks for a great year to everyone who's been down to the shows and supported us in any way, we've had some amazing times at gigs this year, and thanks to everyone who's put us up and put up with us!.. We'll be back on the road in 2009 and i for one can't wait...! Hope to see you all soon,
Adam The Travelling Band
