Brighton gig

Sunday, May 13th, 2012

We had a great time playing in Brighton on 3rd May. Brighton crowds are legendary, and they didn’t disappoint, as demonstrated by the impromptu conga line that we lead out onto the street at the end of our set. Some kind person blogged about it here; there’s a nice little video too.

February gigs

We had a great couple of gigs at the end of last week. An absolute pleasure playing the Hackney Attic, and then a great gig at the Cellar in Oxford – the first gig we’ve ever had to do where our sousa player had to sit down because of the low ceiling! After playing an [...]
