Well, OK, we promised more frequent updates, and it turns out we were lying. Sorry.
  The fact is, we have been so busy that there has been little time to talk about what we’ve done, we’ve been too busy doing it!
Highlights have included a shared bill at The Cavern with Karl Terry and The Cruisers. If you have never seen him, then make an effort to do so - he must have 20 years on us and makes us look as if we’re asleep onstage! Excellent Rock and Roll/Jazz/Skiffle as it used to be, complete with upright double bass.
  Sales of our CD have been very good, with everybody’s reaction to it being excellent - it won’t be long before they are sold out! We just KNEW we should have pressed more than 30...
  We have lots of work lined up for 2008, with plenty of new venues, as well as our old favourites, including a spot on the bill at the Olympia Theatre, Liverpool, at a show to celebrate “Dancing Through The Years” (see below).
  There has also been talk of some more theatre work, sharing the bill with our old mates The Shakers - if you like Merseybeat, then that one’s for you!
  Our New Year’s Resolution is to update this page a little more frequently, so let’s see how long THAT resolution lasts...

  Once again, your favourite R’n’ B combo have been invited to play at the prestigious International Beatles Festival in Liverpool, a particular honour in their year as European Capital of Culture. Dates are below, there may be some last minute changes, or even additions, so always check before making the trip specially. One ... Erm ... Highlight is our inclusion once again in the Sunday/Monday Cavern “all-nighter,” with a performance at 3am. Needless to say, we can’t wait...

  No, don’t panic, dear reader, the friend in question is not Pete, but our faithful old van, which has taken us to hundreds of gigs... And brought us back from most of them, too. Already nearing the end of it’s natural life, it’s demise was hastened the other weekend by Phil driving it into the back of an Audi. This time no amount of gaffa tape or plastic sheeting would fix it, and so we have been shopping for a new vehicle.
 Luckily, we found someone willing to sell us a van which was not white, for £1 10s. - a vast improvement on the last one, which cost us a whole guinea. The only drawback is, it is far too smart for us - the bonnet is not wired shut, the lights work, it doesn’t leak oil, and you can hardly hear the engine. So, before we can use it, there will be some modifications made, using a lump hammer, tin snips, and two barrels of rust. No self-respecting rock and roll band would even think of using a van without such alterations.
 And so, farewell to our old friend, who, of course, we didn’t name, because only girls do such soft things - seen here in better days, at the top of Mathew Street, Liverpool, preparing for a gig at The Cavern Club.
