Well last year there was this Isle magazine summer edition. This year i.e. 2009 starts off with a bang with the Broadstairs Blues Bash. It`s taken a lot of organisingm let´s hopeit goes / went well. On the Open Harp front Russ and I have gracefully withdrawn from The Dealers project (Actually I think we all have) We had a fantastic summer with them playing festivals and rekindling a desire to climb over furniture.... So OHS wise we're hoping to do some recording this year and release that tricky second album!!! You know what it's like, the first album is all the fantastic songs you've ever written and it goes down so well, you are catapulted to immediate stardom and lose touch with the essential element of simple living which was the cause of the overnight success in the first place. No? No, I don't why it's taken us so long either, if that is the case but this year, this year!!! Broken Biscuit is still doing a bit and there are rumours that the fabled L.A.Doors may make a one off come back gig sometime on the 6th June in the King's Hall, negotiations are still being held but I think we can persuade them it's worth doing.... so look out for publicity nearer the date...
