Close to the summer

glenatronSo summer is nearly here and the musical workrate is starting to really pick up. I mentioned that we had recorded a new b-side that was available on myspace last week and some of you will probably have inferred that this will be associated with an a-side perhaps in some sort of "single" configuration. In that case you will have inferred correctly- we are likely to be releasing Close To The Sun as a single later in the summer but you will doubtless suffer from my grovelling with regard to that enough in a couple of months time.
Between now and then we have an absolute shedload of gigs - I believe there are 19 lined up between now and the end of July, including Newbury Fringe Festival, Gillingham Festival (check us out- sharing a bill with Pam Ayres and Show Of Hands*), Wolvestock (looks like it's a festival for both kinds of music) and back to some other more familiar haunts including the 12 Bar in London and the Porter in Bath. Anyone who comes to the latter will be rewarded with the sight of us trying to cram six people (Tiff, our violinist, is now a full-time member of the band) onto the smallest imaginable playing space. Actually, come to think of it, the 12 Bar is also titchy. At those types of show I envy Mic- drums need a certain amount of space and can't be forced to squeeze up any closer than that...
For those of you in earshot of Haslemere (not many, I'll grant) our front line are going to be playing on Delta FM after 8:00 tonight (Thursday). It was going to be all of us, but Mic and I are too damn cool for radio.**
It's for the best really. I have no money. I couldn't have afforded the fuel to get to the studio.
*On the same bill as in playing during the same two-week period- not actually the same day...
**Also, their studio was too small to fit all six of us and instruments.
