Hey guys,

Hope you are doing well! Just played a show with Belleruche last night and it was cracking! The next one we're puttin on is Aug 14th with a band called Nick Price and the Pimptones, I think you'll dig them. Be great if you want to come down to watch this one, it's a Friday night so maybe a little easier.

Please let me know when you start your monthly nights as I would like to come up and watch, assuming I get a spare weekend (I'll bring a few friends too).

We'll have you back down this year at some point assuming you have the time, we will have moved to a new venue by this point so should have more space and better sound!

See ya
