4 gigs definitely planned and 2 tentative.....

One of them is a street festival.....so "big stage" (small actually, but still bigger than the very small stages we play on

)

...and we're really getting the hang of it...bass player was "slappin" that bass last time.

The "Elvis" mics are a real hit...

Rock'n'Roll....

Excellent - remember us when you hit the big time!

Just confirmed a gig in the Irish Pub, 5 or 6 gigs planned up to November.

We've got a Sunday brunch gig this week, outside of course, followed by a Blue-Grass session in an Apple Orchard, looking forward to that. Polishing up some new "hits" for the set list.

This is seriously fun.....especially a gig in the Irish pub, a chance to demonstrate our Roy Orbison covers.

How about psychobilly? Mate of mine organises the Bedlam festivals. Great

At any rate, congrats. Just got an electronic drum kit for my lad, hopefully steer him towards a life in bands, at least as a sideline.

Location?

If you really are in East Anglia I think a road trip could be called for!

Butzbach near Frankfurt for the "Rockabilly" brunch and Nieder-Ehrlenbach for the afternoon Blue-Grass...which admittedly is a bit far from East Anglia.

It would be nice to see a few "cats" at our gigs, I mean real cats all dolled up and throwing their partners over their heads and things.

Hmmm, you want to get onto the weekenders in this country. Hemsby, The Hayride etc. No shortage of that sort of thing there. You'll need to look the part though and not just the mikes....

We're at the street festival tomorrow.....

Looking forward to playing plenty of loud Rockabilly tomorrow, start late afternoon and play until sundown...interspersed with beer breaks.

"ready Teddy to....Rock'n'Roll"

Gr8 fun on Saturday, nice to turn up a bit louder. It was in the afternoon so it was "coffee, cakes and Rock´n´Roll". Went down well, someone even asked us for our autographs

We´re busy trying to persuade one of the local theatre groups, who we do open stage nights with to do backing vocals....ha ha that would be fun. All be improvised of course so could be a bit rough.

Next gig this Thursday
