It is with great shock and sadness that we announce the death of our drummer Mark Ernest who died on Sunday 31 August. Mark was a fantastic musician and dear friend who will be sorely missed by us and those that knew him. He loved music and was always a positive friendly presence, who brought out the best in people around him.
Our condolences go out to his wife Laura and sons Joel, Lloyd and Louis.
Des, Dinesh and Irenie
Our most recent gig was an acoustic set at Rugby’s newest venue, The Steam Turbine. Promoted by Wildfire Sessions, we were on the bill with two excellent acts Woolford Scott and Kim Chamberlain – definitely worth looking out for in the future.
We’re now setting our sights on our début appearance at the Napton festival and a return gig at The Merchant’s Inn in Rugby.
Just updated our gallery page with a photoshoot at The Vault in Rugby.
We’ve had a busy few months since the last post playing at several local venues including The Wharf Inn at Fenny Compton, The Old Plough in Braunston, The Merchant’s Inn in Rugby and The Boat Inn in Newbold.Thanks to all that came and supported us and we’re looking forward to playing at these venues again in the Autumn.
Please keep supporting local venues and live music, because there’s a fun times to be had out there!
Here are some videos of the new tunes Refugee by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and Blondie’s Hanging on the telephone. Recorded on a mobile phone at a recent practice this is the first time we’ve played these tunes – nearly there with both!
