Hello all, Been some time since i've written anything from this site. as you may or may not have realised by now, some time ago geographical and life situations meant that the city ghosts are no longer functioning as a group, and are on an indefinate hiatus. Who knows if we'll get together to record unfinished bits and bobs or do a couple of shows in the future, but for now i guess its quits. I've been reluctant to write anything here cos i was kinda gutted about it, but such is life.. Anyway, now i have, i thought i'd send out a bulletin or two and put up a blog to say thanks if you ever checked us out, put us on, played with us, listened to our music, or helped us out in any way whatsoever. As we never actually got round to properly releasing anything, i've been thinking about making a diy double cd discography thing compiling the songs we recorded, (of which there are almost twenty in all) some acoustic covers and some live stuff most people never really heard.
If you were ever into us, feeling nostalgic, or are just damn curious or interested in getting hold of a copy, I'm gonna make a bunch with some DIY artwork and bits n bobs, all you need to do is email me with the title 'GHOSTS DISCOGRAPHY' at thecityghosts@hotmail.com or send a message to the page here with your name and POSTAL address, and i shall post one out to you for the fine price of 2 minutes of your time to get in touch.
On a similar note, if ANYBODY has any stories, PHOTOS or memories to share with us of the ghosts, it'd be greatly appriciated if we could get a copy! We're currently working on new projects so keep an eye out for that..

We would like to thank all the bands who supported Coombeshead Studios during 2007. It was our busiest year ever at just short of 100 bands, and allowed us to spend several thousand pounds on some major upgrades, launching us from a low budget studio to a fully professional setup. We continue to offer our low budget prices but offer a greater flexibility of control and greatly improved quality!
