Hey everyone, hope you had a good October 31st, unfortunately us
skint musicians cannae afford to go out partying these days. Last year
we played as Dorothy and co. for Halloween, this year we just stayed in
and watched Halloween. Depressingly, we had the best night’s sleep in
ages.
This month has mostly been spent organising our first mini-tour,
which will kick off in Dundalk’s Spirit Store, (one of our favourite
haunts), and will see us setting foot in London for the first time as a
band when we hit the Gibson Centre on Dec 10th. The London jaunt will
encompass a weekend of gigs and radio slots, so keep an eye out for
updates on the myspace if you’re coming from that direction.
October saw us return to The Globe in Dublin for more open mike night frolics, and as such nights go
The Song Room
ranks highly in that regard. The crowd are ever cheerful and
appreciative and it’s such a pity we have to pick up and rush back to
the K-mobile immediately afterward but we gotta get up on Thursday
mornings. We love you anyway!
For those of you in Northern Ireland who had your ears glued to the
radio last October 9th, we got bumped due to an unfortunate diary
malfunction, but not to worry as we received a sincerely apologetic
phone call from Gerry Anderson himself, and have been felicitously
rescheduled to November 20th- Children in Need day. Don’t expect to see
us in a bath of baked beans or anything though- it is the radio after
all.
Anyway we hope you have a fantastic November wherever you are. It
must be said the sky has been unforgiving in Belfast, but we hit the
road on November 28th so keep an eye out for stop-offs in your town and
maybe we can cheer you up, or at least share your pain!
BOO!
KATCO XX.
