   About The Beep Seals (R.I.P)
Phone the Samaritans and get out your tissues. The Beep Seals are no more. We’ve split. It’s over. Goodbye. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us along the way. Noises are being made at Heron HQ for a proposed Anthology and reunion tour in 2028, so we’ll see you then. In case anyone worries about these things: we haven’t fallen out…we’re still friends, we’re just not in a band together anymore.

Our final show will be at Beepfest in Glasgow

All our love

The Beep Seals
