New CD
Fever pitch looms ever closer as we head to Oxford to
record the new CD, Pack of Jokers.
There will be 11 tracks all hand written by various
members of the band and put together co-operatively
with a minimum amount of swearing.
We showcased the new tracks at a concert on our home
turf of Haydon Bridge on 15 January and we had a
fantastic night with a great audience who gave the new
stuff a definite thumbs up, so here’s hoping the album
receives the same.

The Sage Gateshead
The following week saw us at The Sage Gateshead where
we played for a Ceilidh in a hall which has a glass
fronted bit at one end so people can see in.
However when you are outside looking in you cannot
hear a thing so it must have been a bizarre sight
to see loads of people careering round in a frenzy
of activity for no apparent reason.
Very enjoyable though!

Oh Dear!
We reported last month about Brian’s unfortunate flood experiences.
Taking a well earned rest he and his wife ,Val, took a trip
to Spain for four days where it proceeded to snow continuously...
for four days!
However they were reasonably well attired with knee length
shorts and open toed sandals providing more than
adequate frost bite protection.
Subsequently Brian is planning a late summer break to
Greenland to take advantage of the weather.
