 !!!! UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
Most of you know that Tonys' daughter Danielle was admitted to Basildon Hospital on 24th, with a viral infection and subsequently went into a coma, where she has stayed on a life support sine then. Due to this fact, and that she is my neice, we have felt it right to postpone our gigs forthwith. We hope to resume in December hopefully. We are all supporting Tone though this is the right course of action. We appologise for this inconvenience, and will keep you updated in relation to future gigs, which we will resume as soon as practicable. Thankyou for your continued support. Mick

Friday at The Sutton Arms is another milestone in the history of the band. Entering our 3rd year at this venue, and with a fresh line up, of bass, singer, and with the addition of Hammond organ and Sax, the adrenalin will be running, (mostly with me) as I give it my first shot at the lead.

 'Ello Mosters'
Well, we have been busy, I have been doing the lead vocals in rehearsals and according to the few who have heard, its going well!!, We have also been doing a few new ones for the Sutton gig, so listen out for them. We have been trawling the deepest depths of 1960's garage for a couple of hipshaking numbers,( or just beer spilling )and may well give them a go too. The Hammond is having a service as we broke it !! but will hopefully be back for the gig, Hope to see you there, Mick

Joe, has been playing Saxophone for many years, and can also play keyboards, so will be joining us for some fantastic sax on some of those Northern Soul sounds, as well as some mod revival numbers, and will also be playing along on the Hammond organ.See Joe on his website, www.myspace.com/joegreensax Both will be doing some singing, with Mick, who will be taking over the lead singing, but still playing that Rickenbacker !!. Rehearsals are going very well, with the sound, just getting better all the time, so, we hope to see some of the old and some new faces when we have our first gig with this fantastic new line up on Friday 20th March at The Sutton Arms, Southend, which is FREE ENTRY.

 Mill Hall, Rayleigh
We are currently sorting out the admin ect for a great gig at The Mill Hall in Rayleigh Essex. It will be on Friday 31st October, Halloween, so if you feel like dressing up please do, but as it will be a mod night, maybe a zombie will stand out if you get my drift. There will be two bands if logistics allow, and some fantastic Northern Soul Floorshakers being DJ'd, so if you are interested in tickets, join our email list and details will be sent to you direct as soon as details are confirmed, this will be dependant on numbers as we will be footing the bill for the hire of the hall and a professional sound technician so you get the best sound. I want to keep the cost of tickets down so the more interest the better. Join our mailing list through the link on our homepage.
