13/11/04 What a night! Barefoot were characteristically awesome, and we gave (in my humble opinion) our best performance since the Chelmsford Spectacular. Briliant atmosphere, audience...the works! Thanks to Heidi for letting us play, Barefoot for being amazing (Veg, don't worry about the name check thing!) and the White Hart for being rocking! Looking forward to 18th Dec more each day...ps. Green is your colour Tom! ; )
11/11/04 Welcome back, it has been a while, hasn't it?! Things are looking great though, with gig this fri at White Hart for Heidi's birthday, and then of course the BIG ONE: 18th Dec, back at the White Hart. A must-see gig, with many Christmas surprises in store....he he he! And if last night's rehearsal is anything to go, no one will be disappointed. Plus Tom has a big surprise for us all... Look forward to seeing you all there! = )
25/10/04 Well it was certainly a night to remember. Not so much for our set (though naturally we came, we saw, we rocked!) but Alan's now legendary dancing skills, ably assisted by his brothers and Matt! Keep it in the family, eh? Was an excellent evening, enjoyed by all of the extensive Wilkinson clan (and the boyfriends!) Thanks for everyone's support. Hopefully pictures and recording (Thanks Jim!) to come soon.
Also preparations beginning for our two White Hart dates. Expect madness, mayhem and maybe a few carols...Who knows? More details on this gigs to follow soon.
21/10/04 Sorry about long delay in news - extensive gig preparation...obviously! Not to much to report: Setlist finished for Alan's 50th on Sat - should be good fun. Confirmation of 18th Dec gig at White Hart. Sorry to hear about the recent end of 'The Burning'. RIP. And great recording of OC gig. Many thanks to Rob and his Dad!

04/09/04 Excellent gig last night with the Burning at the OC club. Shakey start, but we rocked the house at the end of it all! Big thanks to everyone who came and supported us, plus thanks to the Burning and in particular Rob's dad for putting the gig together, inpromptu drum tuning and letting me sing. Was a good night, think we managed to win over more fans. Rock and roll indeed. Pics to follow soon, and live tracks.
Other news: Spectacular 2004 pictures loaded up - check 'em out!
30/08/04 WOW! Thats was pretty special I think. Not only did we get to rock the socks off the Live n Local tent, they let us go on again later! Crowd, though small in numbers, was big in voice especially a certain song about busting ghosts! Probably our best gig to date! Thanks to our undying supporters: Wilkinson, Sparshott, Maples and Browning clans, Katie, Jo, and all the crazy crazy Boswellers Also big shout to new friends The Brights, Naked Twister and Koala Grip for being cool in the face of controversy. After the many mix ups of the morning, it was nearly only two bands!! But rock prevailed, and it was definitely something to remember. Same time next year then, eh?
