12 Bar Club - 9th January -10 pm.
January 8, 2008
Hello all
Well we didn’t make Christmas number 1, unless no-one told us?
However, we were judged best new Christmas song by a panel and listeners on BBC Southern Counties and Radio Solent, and we look forward to consolidating our thriving fan base in Southampton this year.
It’s a short notice reminder but no-one has anything to do at this time of year and therefore why not come along to celebrate the onset on wintery darkness with us tomorrow evening at Blang! at the 12 Bar Club on Denmark Street, London WC2 (Tottenham court Road tube).
We’re on at 10pm.
Hope to see you there..
