The Weather are a 3 piece band, 2 parts from Tameside & 1 from Holmfirth.. In 2001, Singer and songwriter, Chris Cyprus formed the group with bassist Steven Hancock. Originaly just writing, and playing accoustic gigs for a laugh. One night they played in Huddersfield where they met up with Drummer, Dan Hough. Chris had already been in a band with Dan a few years previously. Chris and Ste were'nt looking for a drummer at the time, but Dan insisted that they needed one, so he joined in 2004.
The original idea for a name was ..The Weather Underground.. they were an American Political Activists group from the 60..s? That was later shortened to .'The Weather'.. (everybody talks about it!) 'The Weather' have recently finished their third CD 'The Shape of Things' wich they are very proud of making. In 2007 they played many gig's including a support with Ocean Colour Scene. 2008, kiked off in January with a LIVE recording for Artboo TV wich will broardcast in Feb, on SKY channel RED. They hope to be back in the studio soon as they have loads of NEW material to record! They have a gig with DODGY in March, then they are off to Germany for a tour in July. As a group, they have never 'chased rainbows' for want of a better word, or followed the current trends that a lot of 'industry' bands seems to be playing. Their ecclectic styles of music range from country to blues to full on 'dirt' and quirky 'Pop' That is their strength and appeal, and they strongly believe in their Music. So keep checking the forecast!

The FOURTH day of JULY, 2009, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of JABEZ CLEGG. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to THE BARREL. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
