SRGents.
Performing original tunes and arrangements of classic songs, with sophistication and Parisian style.

Welcome to the first edition of the SRGents newsletter!
The 7th November saw the gentlemen making their Welsh debut at Aberlesquewyth, hosted by the delectable Miss Rosie Cotton at the Runway club (RAFA), Aberystwyth. Mr. Garinton polished the Bentley and Messrs Pericles and Julien loaded the trunk. They were joined on their journey over Snowdonia by the rather wonderful Louis Barrabas, who complained not one bit at being forced to endure Garington's mixed tape of '80's classics and tales of the time he met Sir Joe Strummer!

Joining the gents and Mr B. in their musical meanderings were Aber favourites, Quercus Burlesque and The Drip Dry Man. The very appreciative patrons, bedecked in all their finery, were also treated to some fire juggling, a magician and the divine Miss Pixie Crane who, in homage to Marlene Deitrich, performed in her native German.

Back in more familiar surroundings, the gentlemen played their first Manchester gig in a while, on 14th November at the Northern Quarters popular Joe's Bar. It was nice to see so many familiar faces and get reacquainted with old friends. Hats off to Sir Paddy for another wonderful night! The gentlemen hope to make their return before the year is out.The gentlemen have also found time in their busy schedules to return to the rehearsal, studio and have added a new song to their repertoire as well as a new arrangement of a Johnny Cash classic.

After 2 years at the MySpace helm, Sir Garington has relinquished his role to the very capable Sir Julien, so that he may concentrate on producing his cinematic offerings for your delectation. Sir Julien's valet, Charles is currently at home in France due to a family bereavement. Our thoughts are with him.

Sir Pericles continues to manage the pages of Facebook, under the non de Plume of Henri Gibson, whilst continuing to progress in the world of academia and move abode with Mademoiselle. Ginger.

In other news from Gentlemen HQ, Sir Garington and his beau are off to see Mr. Nicholas Cave, for a good dose of Duende on the 25th November!
