Hello All

In the van, full of cold.  We had a meeting on the ferry planning the coming week.  I’m moving house, Kate’s still unwell, and things are getting frantic for the release of this album.  Wo baby but it doesn’t rain, 3 come at once.

We are over in Ireland ready for our performance tomorrow night on the Late Late Show. Great, I love this show, profoundly brilliant institution in Ireland, and great craic at the after show party.  We are a bit bothered by the fact they want us to mime with a live vocal!  We love playing live, and making something happen in the moment.  So apologies for the lack of live music.  We are doing a load of other Irish stuff next week and playing live on TV and Radio so that’s all good.

Steven Merchant Radio 6 Music this Sunday will be hosting us at 4pm.  We have all been having big ole debates about what we will play.  I really believe in this song of ours called England Up rise, It’s passionate, deep, and it rocks.  But everyone on our team seems to not like it or think it wont work on his show! It’s a song about standing up for your beliefs, telling the people of England and the world to up rise for all they love!  The future is being destroyed by the rich and the ruling classes and the way we are living, we can stop this!  But maybe it’s a wack song with an unclear message?  I don’t know, what do you do when you deeply believe something, and all those around you whom you trust think you’re bonkers?!

Anyway.  Have a good week, and I will see you at these gigs in April.  Tell your friends, family, and all you know.  Please, it really helps us a lot if you pass the word that we’re playing, and we promise we will give them a good time.

Be bold, and as my mate Rachel’s book says ’Live this year as your last’

Love Luke x
