german tour cancelled

We’ve just very reluctantly made the decision to cancel the German shows next week. We hate cancelling shows, but serious personal issues mean there’s really no other option right now. We’re currently aiming to reschedule them for the autumn.

Major apologies to all those who already bought tickets. We’ll make it up to you as soon as we can.

Shows in the next month!

Don’t forget we’re playing some shows in the next weeks:

  • April 18: Bath, UK
  • May 1: Bochum, Germany
  • May 2: Berlin, Germany
  • May 3: Hamburg, Germany

We’ll be bringing lots of merchandise, like T-shirts and some rare CDs to each show, so bring some extra cash along! We always like to hang out at the merchandising booth and sign autographs and chat after the show, so if you have something you’d like autographed, do bring it along.

We’re also looking for someone who would be interested in helping us sell merchandising at the German shows. If you’d like to help out, and get to spend time backstage with us (and maybe even get a free T-shirt!), please send us a mail!

New flyer for Hamburg

Here it is – please pass this around and get as many people as possible to the show! If you need a hi-res version for printing, just let us know. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge…

Andy & the BBC help new musicians

From the Manchester Evening News:

GUITAR-playing solicitor Andy Booth has been plucked by the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters and BBC Radio Two to advise up-and-coming artists on legal issues.

Andy, a partner at Manchester firm Turner Parkinson and guitarist with the 1980s band The Cassandra Complex, who recently re-formed to tour Germany and Brazil, is advising hopefuls in a nationwide search for unsigned talented songwriters.

He is providing advice on publishing and recording contracts to finalists in the BBC Radio Two New Songwriters’ Academy.

Andy, whose clients include Ian Brown and The Coral, said: “This academy is attempting not only to uncover new talent but also to advise up-and-coming musicians on how to avoid the pitfalls inherent in the music industry.

“I’m thrilled to have been selected and to be playing a part in discovering the level of talent that is out there.”
