OK people, time for an update...
... we have solved the drummer problem by transforming into a three-piece, with Mike now on drums. Now, I know what you're thinking; we now have a relatively inexperienced drummer, in exchange for losing our best guitarist, but trust us on this one, it's the only way to go :)
This upheaval has meant a lot of practicing and rejigging of songs, plus alot of new material has been unearthed by the change around, so we've once again gone to ground over the summer. This has been coupled with plans to create a proper rehersal room/recording studio in Mike's garage, which should be going ahead very soon.
This all means I wouldn't expect us to be becoming active on the scene until the early part of next year, but on the upside once we are, there's gonna be no stopping us :)...
...watch this space...
