Hello,

Last weekend we played a 40 min set at the Secret Garden Party. It had taken us ages to get there from Brighton cos the traffic was rubbish, but the convoy made it in the end. We arrived just before our set on The Living Room stage. It's organised by Shelter which is a great charity. My sister used to work for them so I was proud to be helpin out.

By 5pm we were setting up tents and drinking wine out of very warm bottles....uuurrrrgh! It was such amazing weather. NOT ONE DROP OF RAIN! and we'd taken wellies;) A few cool beers later and the day was going swimmingly. A set from Alphabeat and then Julian Velard got our party started and the rest of the night and morning flew by.

It really is a great festival....loads to do as well as music to listen to and bands to watch. Grace Jones band was a massive highlight.

This weekend we're off to gig in the park in Halesworth. We're headling the 2nd stage on Sunday night. It should be great.

We've just gained a fantastic new member to the band. Joe is a multi-tasker, playing loads of instruments. So the live show is going from strength to strength.

So when we've got our next gigs up you have to come see us soooooon!
