Hi Mark here. I'm off out of the country for all of January, so we're all having a bit of a well deserved rest - soon as I'm back in Feb though we'll be finishing off our new recordings and playing some more gigs. But until then, have a great January folks! Mark.x
13/12/11 : Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming so it's time to wheel out this old gem again...
Stop The Cavalry (Jona Lewie cover) by The Lost Cavalry
We've had an amazing year - Jonny joined as our new drummer and we've moved on a lot musically I think, our new songs (a yet unrecorded!) have a feel to them that we're pretty excited about, We'll record them soon as we can in 2012.
It seems that every Christmas someone new joins the band - this year, we're pleased to officially welcome Derek Yau as our new cello player! Derek played guest cello for us on our last EP and was my co-composer on the Booked Out film soundtrack (the film will be released in 2012 by the way). It's good to have him on board!
Enjoy your mince pies! Mark.x
