Cafe Jazz, Cardiff
Feb 14
After the stadium rock euphoria of The Thekla could we produce the smooth jazz appropriate for a cold night in Cardiff? Hmmm, Valentines Day. Maybe a set of smoochy ballads. All is Yes.

Pressure Point, Brighton + The Cavern, Exeter
10/11 Feb, 2008
Loooong drive from ’stol to ‘ghton but jump jive got us there in good heart. New mic still playing up. Or was that the battery? Or the pedal? Or the leads? But enough speculation and technicalisation, an evening jaunt through the labyrinthine Lanes took us past a shining Komedia and into Carluccios. Long meal meant we missed both support acts (sorry guys).
South Hill Park, Bracknell

Jake has a cold.
I forget my suit but manage to organise a panic-stricken reunion. Couldn’t play without it.
And so this is Bracknell. What have we done.

Mmmmm… No sign of Taylor John but lots of lovely people cheering us on in his living room. First gig on the first tour for the first album. Well, third, depending where you start counting from. But this is definitely the first blog entry.
