A slow one for once....

We've just put up a revised version of Looking for You - our most recent tune. This one started life as a lullaby intended for Wally's grandchildren, but he didn't finish it in time and now they're too big for lullabies.

It features Stalwart on saxophone; the basic tracks were out together in Spain by Wally using Nanostudio on his iPhone. The finished track contains several new parts added by Steve and Wally at the shed.

Ah - the old days....

Here's another one called Fags, Drugs and Wine. Wally wrote it in about 2001 on a Zoom PS-02 - a great little machine that he wishes he'd kept. We re-recorded it at Steve's shed recently.

It's a bit shorter than most of our other tunes, but we like it, and we hope you do. There's more stuff coming, with a few changes of style to look forward to. Just in case you missed the link above, you can click here to listen to it.

some little changes...

We've tweaked The Waves and All Over - see if you can spot the differences. These will be the final CD versions in due course. You can find them here.

New Tune - have a listen!

Steve and I have just finished a new tune - it's called The Waves, and here it is.. We hope you like it!

We've tweaked All Over a bit, and now we've added an extended version of a new tune called Staying In - you can listen to them both here

.

Check out this wonderful CD/zine - Sound Shack. All being well, there will be one of our tracks in the April issue! If you're in Hebden Bridge, you can buy a copy at Muse Music on Market Street.

We've just about finished what will be the first tune on our next album. It's called All Over, and you can listen to it here.

Well....
We played our first gig on 31 January, supporting Molly Jones and Lee Southall at The Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. It was OK, but we could do better! We had expected a small audience, given that we were in the support slot, but it didn't work out that way - firstly the gig featured as pick of the week in the Guardian's gig guide (because of Molly and Lee, not us) and on M & L's facebook page they said that they would be on stage at 8.30, which was actually when we played. So when we came on there must have been 150 people out there.

We did some tunes with a backing track, and some with just the two of us. We learned quite a lot - I learned it's better to use the house PA direct for my guitar, rather than mic up a little Street Cube amp, and that preparing and using a backing track takes a lot of care and attention to detail. You'll have to ask Steve what he learned...

For me the best song of the evening was My Place. The audience was OK - they applauded, but next time we will be better. In the meantime, we're busy recording stuff for our second album. We have three tunes almost finished and more in the pipeline.

We're hoping to feature on Sound Shack's CD/fanzine soon - more on that later.

We had a little rehearsal today in preparation for our gig on Thursday 31 January at The Trades Club, Hebden Bridge, supporting Molly Jones and Lee Southall. It was OK!! We're going to have another one!!
