Hi everyone


For those off you who don’t know, after 9 mths our singer Geoff has decided to call it a day. He’s exhausted and needs a much deserved break.

Geoff has worked tirelessly for the band, along with his wife Suzie, and we just want to say ‘Thanks for everything you’ve done. We’re gonna miss you !’


Geoff has said he’ll some and play with us from time to time so he’s not completely gone…


We shall keep you all informed of up dates to do with the new line up…


Other news is that we won’t be at The Vic Park , the Sunday after next ( 25th January) due to a bike race being held by the Vic Park council, but things shall be back to normal the week after.


That’s all for now

Keep shining

The Shinkickers
