It doesn't seem 1 year since we last played at the Lincoln 10K and we've only just posted the pictures!

This will be our 5th time there - Melvyn Prior will be back compering and offering support to runners.  The Radio Lincolnshire team are always well organized and we'd like to thank them for looking after us well with plenty of hot tea/coffee between songs.

We look forward to playing some new songs for the first time - hopefully the weather will pick up and there will be plenty of supporters out to help them on their way.  If you're running we will see you at about 3K so you should plenty of energy left for the rest of the race (we often see people stop for a brief dance).  

I expect we'll get there in plenty of time and Billy usually gets our bacon butties for us before the event starts (thanks) - though we don't recommend this as a pre-race meal for runners...  

The Lincoln 10K will be held on Sunday 7th April this year.

Good luck to all the runners

Good news to start 2013 - Re-Branded welcomed Mick Hoppo back on board this year after he took the last half of 2012 off. He finally relented after 6 months of nagging and dusted the ol' Ibanez down to rejoin us. 

To get us all back in the swing of things we kicked off playing The Great Australian Breakfast on Sunday 27th January. This was the 22nd year the event has been held and was opened by the Mayor of Lincoln and compered by our favourite Radio Lincolnshire DJ Melvyn Prior (we'll be seeing him again shortly at the Lincoln 10K). All the proceeds from the event were split between St Barnabas Hospice, Children In Need and the Nomad Trust. The event was very well attended - it was amazing to see just how much hard work was put into it by all the volunteers and organizers. We'd love to play there again & hope to see you there next year - it's a good family morning with local brass bands, jugglers, stiltsmen and even a didgeridoo player.

Unfortunately I think the photographer must've had too many sausages & bacon and left by the time we played although I've added a long distance shot I found posted.

Our next outing this year was again at short notice when our friends in "The North" were unable to play at the White Swan in Market Rasen on 2nd March. We played and had a great time. Thankyou to everyone who came down - hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Thanks also to Nicky (from The North) who joined us for 2 songs in the second set. Thanks also to Tina who let us play til just after curfew. See photos for a few pics from the night. Hope to see you all there again in August.
