We had a good tour with Skamel that finished earlier this month.  We played in some new cities to some really great crowds and we also got to try out a bunch of new material which is slowly amassing for our second album which may be recorded next year!  You can hear an early recording of one of these tunes which we recorded for Chester Zoo and Act for Wildlife‘s October campaign to raise money to help Orangutans in Borneo.

The biggest news, however, is that Nick lost a chess game to Tim in four moves.  How embarrassing for him.

Thanks to these venues, their promoters and their audiences – Studio 2 in Liverpool, Zeffirellis in Ambleside, the Jazz Bar in Edinburgh, Number 39 in Darwen, Jazz at the Priestly in Bradford, Matt & Phred’s in Manchester, and Jazz at the Lescar in Sheffield.
