The place was busy and buzzing, it has been the first gig in my home town that I have enjoyed for a long time. Sandweaver were excellent, and it was good to see Tom in the band (bass). Then Hudson 10 came on and were fantastic - they even got Pete up playing tambourine, which I have never seen before !
We had a lot of fun and played a mixture of old and new songs, I was enjoying my gretch so much I did'nt bother reaching for the acoustic, maybe next time. |

We were in the final of the Gosport Battle of the Bands.
Generally a great crowd, nice people but absolutely shocking on stage sound, using PA speakers as monitors is not the way to go. We saw some great acts - I loved one life left and the last exit, and in so far were excellent as well and deserved the win.

| 21st Febuary 2005 |
8.00pm |
The Cave, St Pancras, Chichester. |
An excellent night playing with Bristol Lo-Fi mechants Cajita and the excellent Rose Kemp as part of their UK tour.
Typically enough it was snowing which kept people away but despite a horrible cold Rose Kemp performed an excellent set, reminded me very much of Jeff Buckley in style, she has an amazing voice and is well worth checking out.
Cajita were also excellent, a really interesting mix of sounds and influences I would recommend catching them on the rest of their tour.
We played from about 10pm and played alot of tracks from Exhale, but we finished up with a brand new one called Dirt Gray Sky, this was the first time we have played it but we are happy with how it is shaping up. |
| 30 th January 2005 |

Good fun night, its a fun venue, it still reminds me of Amsterdam, and I am not quite sure why.

The Florence Arms, Florence Road, Southsea, Portsmouth. |
A fun night, the venue reminded me of an Amsterdam style cafe, if only the lights were a little dimmer and the atmosphere abit more, ahem, smokey. We ended up playing three songs, Like a Stone, Nashville and Birds and Ships. I enjoyed listening to all the other artists, a good night out. |
| 21st October 2004 |

We supported Daniel Rachel who played an excellent set.

| 18th September 2004 |
5.00pm |
Hobbs Farm, Yapton, Part of the Annual Music Festival. |
Great fun, plenty of real ale around and lots of people drinking cider, in true festival style. Also in true British festival style, it rained. And we had a powercut two songs before the end. Still Johanna and Matt bravely (stupidly ?!) grabbed acoustic guitars and stepped off the stage to entertain everyone unplugged. A great day out. |
| 27th August 2004 |

The lovely people at Talking Heads have invited us back. It was a great gig - we were supported by excellent local band Sair. Once again it was lashing down with rain when we arrived in Southampton, either it always rains there or we bring it with us. Hmm. Anyhow we had a great gig, and enjoyed ourselves. It has to be one of my favourite venues to play. |

Its impossible to have a bad night at this venue. The crowd are always up for it, the bar is always busy and Carl is always willing to throw in a monster drum solo at the end of our set. This night was not exception. You got 2 hours of us as well, you lucky people ;) |
| 14th May 2004 |

The Chichester Pub, West Street, Chichester |

Good night - nice and loud. We were supported by the sublime Alex Roberts, if you live a cross between Nick Drake and Dave Matthews you will love this guy. I hope Pete will record his stuff soon.

We ended up opening the show which mean't all of you who turned up at 9.00pm to see us missed about 15 minutes of our set, massive apologies.
None for that we had a good night, great crowd and a good atmosphere. It was also a real treat to see Sandweaver - they were brilliant live, really reflecting the quality of their recording that Pete has done for them.
Anyway set list :

The Cave, St Pancras, Chichester |
My God this venue is cold. The first half of the set was alot of fun, by the time we did the second half my fingers were so damn cold I could hardly play, you know its bad when the audience are putting thier coats on as they come in. Anyhow apart from the temperature we had a great night. I managed to snap a string 3/4 of the way through "like a stone", normally the tak stays in tune, not this time, it went dreadfully pear shaped and I had to finish the song pretty much acappella. Anyhow here is the set list :
* Decyphering the code
* Snow Angels
* Like a stone
* Nothings Safe
* Drown
* Thats alright |

A great night out, nice to see a good bunch of people there as well. We had alot of fun and played alot of tracks from our new album, it was just a shame that it was raining so much outside ! |
| 1st December 2003 |
7.30pm |
The Cave, St Pancras, Chichester |
As part of Tongues and Strings. We felt that we played a blinder - we had a really good time, despite a whole host of problems meaning a late sound check in front of the audience which I hate doing. The new song "Like a stone" was very well recieved. |
