Delighted to announce we will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of our full-length debut album Burlesque with a tour in November next year!

Jimmy Cliff...


A stunning voice, now silent. Another voice of my youth gone.

Some of you might have seen Mike Harding posting on FB about the Iain Anderson show on BBC Radio Scotland which is one of four music shows to be axed.

Jimmy Cliff...


Just waking up and seeing this. I’m well and truly gutted. His music gives me such joy and the man was a blessing. Giving thanks for your life Jimmy

So...I'm currently going through my currently annual 'Do I really wanna see Neil one more time' arguments with myself.

Not seen Elvis since Glasto '86 when he was in the crowd next to me (who was admittedly somewhat chemically enhanced but had this confirmed by neighbours) watching t'Pogues.  Elvis was in his mad hairy beardy stage.  Never seen him live but am not actively opposed to doing so.


Saw Elvis in Bristol solo some years ago. Fabulous evening which was energetic and showed how great the songs are. Saw him again in London with his band and we decided to leave after 4 songs, sound was appalling, overdriven, distorted and couldn't make out the words Elvis was yelling through his mic. Bass made me feel ill. Put me off trying again but interested to see how this goes.
