Record Label
rep Debbie Clare at Coda agency London. Live only.
So our thanks go to the Southbank team for inviting us to take over the QE hall. It was one of the best shows weve ever done. the other acts were superb, Othon and Tomasini, Anchorsong, Worm, Jazz Butcher. Luke Drozd turned up with his fab screenprints, Kilford the music painter rocked the canvas up there with us and Panni Bharti
transformed the stage and theater itself with her film and trees. Thanks to them and all for showing up and having a ball. It was fantastic.
Next up we are proposing a benefit for the Brixton Brockwell park in London to help towards the rebuilding of the vandalised bike house, a much needed place for those who use its specialist bikes. In Feb 2010 a European tour is beginning to grow. We'll be revisiting places we excelled ourselves in, many years ago. Warning! we are now better, harder, faster and more non stop than the 80's. Refreshed and ready.
The Woodentops are playing a stripped down gig in York on the 12th December. Only 50 or so places available, and virtually sold out. Details on www.houseconcertsyork.co.uk

Wow - what a shot Rolo ! After 20 years of seeing your concert in Mannheim 1989 together with the Darling Buds and Pogues it is definitly time for a come back... !
Every weeknight, on my drive home from work, I pass an enormous billboard for some hospital with the words "Well. Well. Well". And every time I pass it I have to sing the song. This has been going on for at least six months. Thank goodness it's such a good song.
