The band:

Our first gig 18 Jul 26: Greenpeace fundraiser at the Rising Sun
We had a great first gig at the Rising Sun Arts Centre this evening. We’ve been busy in the background for the last few months, working on the new album, so it was a nice surprise to get the offer to play last minute. So happy to be ready enough. We had a fantastic evening playing with The Lurxx and Friesian. And I was very pleased to be supporting Greenpeace, who Nationally and Locally do important campaigning to make the world a better place. Big thank you to the audience: we had some lovely feedback after and a great reaction while we played. As first gigs go that was brilliant!

- Many thanks to Olly for the photo and Nick for video 🙂
