Hello Smurf. Don't tell me you actually showed up and we weren't there! Laughing

Why have we stopped? Loads of reasons. I am still getting a headache considering them.

It is not like it used be and it is silly trying to be the same band when the environment you played in has gone and changed so much. It worked sometimes and sometimes really well but not often enough to make me feel like it was the right thing to continue doing. 

I am happy that our last gig was good fun, well received and let us die peacefully in our sheep.

Put away the trolley wheels. They are needed no more!

hi james,i know what you mean.it's hard to play and give it your all when no-ones really interested and most of your audience is outside smoking(i claim guilt for this as well).we're still in limbo awaiting ians return to the drumstool.but it has given us a chance to write new material,which if i may say so they are corkers.but it's still hard to try and get people interested in yopur own work.but we'll carry on hopefully back to playing live at the end of the year.all the best for whatever you do next.smurf.

Thanks for the good wishes Gary.  We will be forming an new band playing originals very shortly. I think it is what we should have done from the start but having said that we did have some really good gigs and I do not regret any of it at all.  I can't wait to get writing again and the sound will be quite different from the old band. Perhaps next year we could put both bands on at the Compass Club or something?

Good luck with your new material. Will see you soon.
