The Ragamuffins Newsletter Year Zero:

Well well well, at LAST I get around to writing another one of these. It’s been a few months hasn’t it? We can only apologise for the delay, so yeah, erm, “sorry”, but, if you haven’t had a chance to keep up to date with developments on Facebook (there’s a new site on there by the way) or Myspace (we’ve pretty much completely redone it!) or by being at one of our gigs, then read on….

NEW RECORDS!

We’ve just spent the last two weeks in the studio both up North and down South with our good friends Dave Cottrell and Jason from excellent London band “The Teasers”.  We’ve also got a few songs that we’ve done/had done over the summer that we’re going to be making available too.  We have recorded……

Better Late Than Never

Discobiscuits  (at LAST full quality version!!)

Hold Steady (as you’ve never heard it before, erm, unless you were at our BBC gig!)

Miracles Away

This will be soon followed by….

She Spells Kirsti (With An STI)

Whatever Happened To The Common Decency Of Lying (as you’ve never heard it before)

Breathe Easy, Blue Skies

And…..

Go Ballistic!

Batteries Not Included (remix/remastered)

So yeah, keep a beady eye out for it, probably mid November when they’ll be knocking about!!

NEW MERCHANDISE!

If you weren’t aware already, we’ve started making “The Ragamuffins” T-Shirts and Badges, and they’ve been knocking around for about 2 months now. Here’s a sample image of one of the T-Shirts and one of the badge outlines. They come in a variety of colours (Irish Green, Blue, Yellow, Black, Sky Blue, Lemon Yellow…. If you request it we can do it!) and we totally design them to specific demands because we don’t want to be lumbered with any XL Pink shirts which wouldn’t sell for instance!

So if you do fancy buying a little piece of Ragamuffin regalia, give us a shout with your measurements and so on and we’ll get some stuff sent to you.

At the minute, there’s Teacup Pictures and “Make Tea, Not Love” or “Make Tea, Not Coffee” or Rocket pictures and “Go Ballistic!” text. Get in.

T Shirts £12 each (plus £2 P&P)

Badges £1 each

Seem fair?

NEW GIGS!

Bit tricky to do this, we’re in the middle of booking quite the collection of gigs for November and December at the minute but most of them aren’t fully confirmed date wise yet. So, without further ado, please feel free to check out our revamped sites for more frequently updated details.

NEW PEOPLE!

We’d like to say a big hello to Brent who’ll be joining us on the ole shrubbery of rhythym, as well as a big thank you to Richard who’d been playing drums with us since our inception a wee while ago, but who has decided to move onto pastures greener. Onwards and upwards as they say! We’d also like to thank everyone who’s stood in for us over the past few months when things haven’t gone to plan!

Libby, Johnny, Kelsey (you don’t need a “y” at the end of your name to help us out, but it helps!), cheers for everything!

NEWS!

So yeah, in assorted news, we’d like to congratulate The Ragamuffins Football Team in avoiding relegation in our first season in the top flight (even if it was on a technicality!) and er, erm, that’s about it for now! It’ll all come flooding back the second I press send, I’m sure of it.

Take care now, keep in touch and we’ll see you soon!!!

Paul, Brent, Jules and David
