Giggidy Giggidy...

Hey y'all

Just a quick update on a few upcoming shows I have in the next few weeks

Real excited to play alongside the super talented Aaron Shanley and on the same bill as Ben Glover.  I've been a big fan of Ben's for a few years now so it's going to be a real treat to finally get sharing the stage with him at the Listening Post, Coleraine (probably my favourite place in the world - apart from my home) every time I get to play up there it's like meeting up with childhood friends.

A week later I'm playing as part of a Public Sector Records extravaganza - another personal class night for me, getting to finally play alongside and watch the mighty Pat Dam Smyth and Malojian....we're all going to be loaded with a backing band this should be a really good night, looking forward to the hometown banter

Another show just confirmed today is the launch of Cedric Has A Name's brand spanking new EP.  This is going to be a super cool night as its in Catalyst Arts (a new venue for me) and Best Boy Grip will also be performing and I'm a big fan of both these lads sounds.

Hopefully see y'all sometime down the line
Til then..

Tour Day 6 - London (Cardiology Dept)

"Two beers at once, it's the future boys" Camden market is a place We would never tire of, and today was no exception what with the vintage market in full swing and samples of every type of food on each corner, it's a haven for any low budget musician. We arrived with a bit of time to spare to get a feel for the place and the repetitve humm of hungry shoppers and music lovers. Being part of Proud Galleries Spring Festival was the perfect setting for our last outing on the 'Versus' Tour. We were part of a 3 day folk/blues/indie extravaganza set over a three day period in The Stables, a literal horse stable converted into maybe the coolest place on Earth. There was a certain amount of sadness attached to this gig, with it being the last of our Tour, but in true 'proud male' fashion it was never discussed. Our travel-battered bodies took to the stage one last time, under two spot lights and no frills...it was perfect. We played an hour, in old traditional Versus style to a hundred strong folk, who seemed to be more than willing to stick with us through each number, we were grateful as always throughout the string of gigs with the amount of patience people treated us with. In a city buzzing with FA Cup fever, this place seemed almost a million miles away. In saying that, we spent the a few hours getting into the spirit of things, shouting various football quips like "come on ref!" and spending some time with new friends and super talents Day of the Rabblement and Richard Allen II and the totally mindblowing Fille De La Lunne. We spent the night with friends at an old abondoned hospital..totally legal and equally mental, it's the way things should end! Big shout out to Adam and Michael (Beastie Boys) for the hospitality (no pun intended) Also, a big mention to anyone that provided us with a venue, gave us opportunities, supported us, talked about us/for us, wished us well or came out to see us along this leg of gigs..although we're much less fresh faced as we were this time over a week ago, our memories are still good enough to remember each good deed. The rest of our thanks goes to Jason (Shan) for everything good about the whole thing We're gonna see y'all real soon Much love A&C

Tour Day 5 - London (Dry Shampoo)

"This feels more like a ginger conference" Weary as hell from a bumpy bus ride and with the previous nights happenings of Southampton buzzing in our ears, London hit us like a brick. We clambered around Victoria, seeking shelter in a cosy little nook to get our bearings on a city awake long before we were. The next hour or so was made up of head scratching, map reading and tube hopping (with guitars in tow) we were every other travellers worst nightmare, using our cases like light sabers (there are only so many times you can apologise). A few hours later we were upon our next venue, The Regal Room in The Distillers. The whole lo fi atmosphere was perfect, dimly lit with a stage armed to the teeth of acoustic goodness. We agreed our luck had changed for the day, cemented by the £1 coffee a stones throw away from the venue (gold mine). Caffeine fueled we took to the stage, sandwiched between a number of fantastic acts and just down right good people (..to Rosie for piano slammin greatness and Erin. Because of the reputation of the Regal Room the crowd were like mannequins during sets (only much more friendlier) so quiet you could literally hear people smile. We must give our big love to Finn, chief organiser of all things beautiful about the evening and Dale, soundman and sound man. We returned to our place of slumber to find the whole place in full swing. It's the strangest thing - one minute you're playing an old wooden guitar in a candle lit room and the next you're surrounded by flashing neon lights with David Guetta buzzing in the ears...It is however, a fitting end to our first of two gigs in the big bad city. Much bedhead to follow the next few days, Proud Galleries Camden is our next and final stop A & C x
