April greetings to you and you and you and Laurence.......
So, for our April update, we can confirm two new Let’s go baboon shows in two fine venues, with 7 mighty acts and 2 resplendent DJs... also news on our monthly nights at the Paradise.......
.. ..
MARCH AND THE PARADISE....
March went well all told. The Crookes are definitely an act to keep your eyes and ears on, they set The Paradise alight and already have a strong following. We salute thee and look forward to seeing you in London town again...The show with The Cedars and Extradition Order was actually our 3rd and last of our monthly nights. We decided to stop as we are far better doing regular, but ad-hoc gigs allowing for an eclectic mix of acts and use of different venues... We are very grateful to Liam and The Paradise, it is a terrific venue, they are putting a lot of effort into everything there and I think over time, it’ll become a great venue...Anyone who lives in the area of Kensal Green should support it, as it is doing a great job.....

APRIL 29th – DANNY GEORGE WILSON @ HALF MOON, HERNE HILL.......
As Danny George Wilson was so phenomenal, we decided to get him back in quick smart for a headline show. Originally planned as part of The Paradise monthly night, we’ve moved it south of the river to the Half Moon Pub, Herne Hill. It is a great venue, been going for years and I very much looking forward to taking Let’s go baboon out there. It is very easy to access (Herne Hill station 3 minutes walk away, Brixton 10 minutes by tube, loads of buses) and I really think it’ll be a treat of a gig. As well as Danny, we’ve our showcase act, the rather fantastic Citizen Helene along and she’ll be joined by The Racists. Also, a welcome return for The Diamond Family Archive (performed brilliantly at The Luminaire supporting Adrian Crowley back in 07) and Woodpecker Wooliams.......
For full listings & tickets head here... in summary though: Danny George Wilson, The Diamond Family Archive, Citizen Helene & The Racists, Woodpecker Wooliams plus DJ: Gareth Main – Bearded Magazine/Fleeing with Pigeons records) - £3 adv, 7.45pm at The Half Moon, Herne Hill... ....

JUST ANNOUNCED – FULL LINE UP/JOINT HEADLINE – 26th MAY – CHARLIE PARR, NANCY ELIZABETH + more....
Tickets for the Charlie Parr show on Tuesday 26th May at The Luminaire finally went on sale on April 1st. Within twelve hours we’d sold 11 tickets... not quite Michael Jackson, but unheard of for me. Those 11 are right though, this is going to be a top gig. You know our views about Charlie, a genuine talent and always a pleasure. It is a double headline though and we welcome Nancy Elizabeth for the first time. I saw her a couple of years ago at The Local’s fabulous Ssshhh evening (or was it Knom then?) at The Spitz and have been hooked ever since. Joining these two headliners will be My Two Toms, quietly unassuming but charmingly brilliant nonetheless. I did my listings, then read this fabulous description for them on Ents24: ....
Two nice, quiet, unassuming Clark Kents that become the Supermen of stringed instruments when exposed to ukeleles and guitars. Maybe the only band who can recreate a little piece of Camberwick Green wherever they play, allow yourself to lie back and drift away. Lovely!....

In addition, we’re grateful to Honest Jon’s records for DJ-ing. In particular, they’re hopefully going to be playing some obscure traditional US folk 78s (not literally the 78s but you know what I mean). Charlie has just recorded some stuff for a forthcoming release of their ever expanding and great record label.......
For full listings & tickets head here... in summary though: Charlie Parr, Nancy Elizabeth, My Two toms plus Honest Jons DJs – The Luminaire Tuesday 26th May – Tickets here.......

Compilation CD....
A reminder that our first volume Let’s go baboon compilation CD is available for £3 and at our gigs. It features exclusive tracks from MJ Hibbett and The Diamond Family Archive, plus rare tracks from Ish Marquez, Maggie8 and Lazarus Clamp... ....

That’s it for now. Jen is busy working on some very exciting things for summer from the land of baboon (like land of leather, but furrier, better music and not in administration). News of which in our May update.....

Thanks to all of you for your continued support.......
....
Cheers for now....
