We were very sad to hear about the death of Gordon Thackray recently. We've known and been very fond of Gordon for many many years (since the very start of the band) and the scene won't be the same without him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all his family.

from nick's facebook page tonight...
"hi y'all... just been up in the wilds beyond York rehearsing with Michelle and Charlie for the Accidental Tourists gig this Friday. I feel like we're revving up for an onslaught of gigs, and the diary is filling up all the time! Dunc, Michelle and I have been doing some recording on the 'home' digital gear - I've finally turned 'What People Do' into the rock song it has always deserved to be! I've just written a new song that I really like (and Michelle likes it so it must be good!) called 'Know Your Enemy'. I'm going to start recording it tomorrow - a big rocker that manages to be sensitive and thuggish at the same time; like giving someone a big hug then punching them in the mouth! Look out for it at the gigs"

saturday's gigs
from nick's myspace this afternoon;
"hi all
three gigs coming up this saturday 7th march...
queensbury festival local heroes stage 1.05pm (duo set with michelle plum)
queensbury festival local heroes stage 3.30pm (hall brothers & john carey)
otley rugby club charity concert (eve) (hall brothers acoustic band - with michelle plum, john carey and nic shipp)
the local heroes stage is in the conservative club [sorry :-(] in queensbury, outside bradford. it's a great little festival with a good line-up all day and evening.
the otley gig is a charity event raising money for a worthy cause, and ace songwriter dave vermond and great rock band the restless natives are also on the bill.
it would be great to see you at all or any of these gigs :-)
