On 20th September, we will be setting off on tour round the UK, playing at 12 venues from Brighton to Inverness. It's been a LONG time since we got in our little white van and slept in Travelodges every night so we're all looking forward to it.

We shall be playing at the following venues:

20 Sept London, Bush Hall
22 Sept Manchester, Dry Bar
29 Sept Brighton, Sactuary Cellar
30 Sept Bristol, The Prom
2 Oct Head of Steam, Newcastle 
3 Oct Glasgow, Oran Mor
 4 Oct Leeds, Fathersham
 7 Oct Edinburgh, Voodoo Rooms
 8 Oct Inverness, Mad Hatters
 9 Oct Forres, The Loft
11 Oct Aberdeen, The Tunnels
18 Oct Oxford, Jericho Tavern

We will be joined on the English dates of the tour by the Vagabond Trills, four delightful young ladies who have been touring the country quietly for the last year. More information can be found here:

In preparation for the tour, Rick has moved into a warehouse where we are able to set the band gear up in and rehearse.  We are going over old tunes (e.g. the hit parade, put a record on), practicing the latest ones (satellite, bad dream) and writing new songs - which you will be able to hear when you come to a show! Here is what the space looks like:

We're very happy to be inviting along Chloe Treacher, who will be playing double-bass and singing backing vocals for the whole tour. We mainly chose her because she is small and won't take up too much room in the van:

We'll have information about tickets soon. But for now, tell us which shows you can come to and what songs you'd like to hear us play.....?

Leeds, definitely! Now, what would I like to hear you play?: Put a Record on; Better Off; Hit Parade.  In fact, all of Sugar and Spite would do for me, please! Oh, and Satellite.

Thanks   Looking forward to the gig, and hearing your new stuff, very much.
