Somewhere in the Middle
We had a great gig at LTB in November. Great musicians, great energy, great artwork, great audience and a really amazing venue. Playing these projects live is also the best way to work out how to improve them and move them forward and we have been sending lots of thoughts around between us. For me, that part is as much fun as the performing - working out where to go next both musically and booking new performances further and further afield. We are all ears and open to conversation when it comes to finding new places to perform so please do get in touch.
3 months of rehearsals reduced down to a 1 minute video :-)
Striations Home Gig
Such a fun evening playing to about 20 people at Steve’s house in Stratford, London. I’ve never really thought about it before but there is so much potential in home gigs - we will be doing more and spreading further afield.
Somewhere in the Middle Gig
I’m excited to announce our next performance at the LTB Showrooms in Coventry on November 8th.
