Bellissimo is being recorded by Andy and mostly in the can, mixing is about to start with the return of JoJo from America. Graham is well chuffed with two Graham has just broken his finger in a DIY accident and is playing guitar rather badly. The first thing he asked the nurse was 'Will I be able to play guitar'. She replied, 'Could you play it before?' JoJo is back and we're getting a set and new songs together to do some open mikes. Graham can now play slide guitar with the plastic splint on his broken finger. JoJo and Gra (back in finger-full working order) played at The Vestry in Chichester on Thursday and Friday. Great night out on Friday promoting Jam Studios -all bands use the studio and all great. Thanks for slotting us in Rob. www.jam-studio.co.uk Anybody got any pics? Gra and Jo co-writing a soul song called GIVE A LITTLE and news of gig coming up at the fab LA HAVANA, Chichester...details soon, could be a full band. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO THE LA HAVANA - look out for more live dates. We also now have ZOLTAN, keyboard player extraordinaire with us for live dates where possible. www.jam-studio.co.uk are doing another brill event at the Hope pub in Chichester and with other jam bands we will be doing a few numbers hopefully with full quota of band members if we don't get the lurgy. SAT 20TH DEC. We had a great time at The Hope, JoJo and I were up at the end dancing to Deep Purple's Black Night played magnificently by The Rubes. Friday the 30th January JoJo and HSBs are back at La Havana for Blackgull promotions www.myspace.com/blackgullstudio Thanks to all who came - specially to Dave Soothill of Britonica for guesting on guitar in the absence, yet again, of our keys player who is in Espana. Mind you who can blame him the temp has been 16 degrees and apparently he has been eating ice cream on the beach! Graham is writing new material - some up tempo numbers in a skiffle/rock-a-billy/folk/grunge style. No, alright like the others but faster! I am going to put all the other Bowley and Beyond numbers up on the listen page...THEY ARE ALL DOWN-LOADABLE. A new pic from the lens of Damien is being used for the CD sleeve for promotion. Jo and I hade a great time playing at the opening of Becky Rose's exhibition of paintings at the Joy Gallery in Chichester, thanks for asking us to play. HSBs support COMIC RELIEF www.rednoseday.com and will be busking in Chichester city centre in the afternoon of 13th March collecting money, playing and wearing something suitable. Hope the licenses come through on time. If you can't come you can sponsor us. 4 HOURS BUSKING - ONE BLOODY FINGER, 2 TIRED HEART SHAPED BUTTONS ONE WACKED OUT JACK RUSSELL BUT... £140 RAISED FOR COMIC RELIEF! Thanks Milly for the interview and scheduling a couple of songs for your radio show Thanks everyone who came to the Havana on Friday we had a great time, hope you did too. See you at The Nuts. What a night at The Nuts! After our chill-out session the brill Rubes rocked, Gra attracted the attention of a certain young man who gave him an instant make-over by undoing his shirt, removing his specs, and mopped his sweaty brow with an old tissue as he proceeded to dance and gyrate around him... what did Gra do?...Join in of course!! WE ARE LOOKING FOR A DRUMMER WITH A NIFTY WRIST ACTION OR A PERCUSSIONIST -ANYONE WHO CAN ADD BEATS TO OUR SONGS. The BUTTONS all came undone due to viral infections. Jo lost her voice and Gra lost his marbles, no his breath. But now we are back at THE ROX AND OTHER GIGS TO BE ANNOUNCED. Gigs Galore...come and see us at |
