Hi
Sorry for the lapse in updating the site but as some of you know last year was not the best of times. All kinds of misadventures occurred but each hurdle was negotiated one by one and here we are.
On the good side I managed to break in to TV with appearances on, "Hanrahan Investigates", "The Bill", Titty Bang Bang", "Hotel Babylon", "Oliver Twist", "Chucklevision" and soon to be shown I will be playing the role of a Traveller in the 1980's at Stonehenge in a Two Part Series called, "He Kills Coppers" watch out for the one with the red headband getting the c**p beaten out of him and that will be me.
I've had some new photos taken so I'll be plastering them all over the site.
As I said earlier last year was not one to remember especially as in November Jaime, Myself and my dog Buster were involved in a very serious road accident. On the way home from a gig at Hadleigh in Suffolk We were hit by a car with such force it managed to shunt us across the Motorway towards the central reservation, then thrust us in the opposite direction turning the van over causing us to slide onto the hard shoulder. I still don't know what caused the driver to do this but he must have been travelling at a high speed for a car to do such damage to a Long Wheel Base Transit Van with the amount of equipment I had on board. The only good thing is that at least he has insurance. We were extremely lucky to get out alive although we are taking some time to fully recover and get back to full fitness.
Jaime got to jam with a few bands including a guest spot with Nik Turner of Hawkwind fame. These extra activities have helped us express ourselves in other ways which have been good experiences for us both.
We sincerely hope to be back to our old selves later in the year but it may take some time...who knows???
I am now supplying a Newsletter which will be sent at least once a month. Last minute gigs will be included as well as the current dates. The response has been well above expectations so far and for those of you who want to subscribe just click the link on the menu.
At last you now have your own page where you can send in your pictures you've taken at various places around the country. What I would like is the name of the venue and date they were taken. If the people want their names mentioned I will also include that detail.
More live tracks will be added on a regular basis and I am hoping there will be some up to date video footage coming soon.
Well that's all for now so God Bless and keep you Safe.

***New Video Page***
As you can see on the menu there is a Video Page. So far the performances are only from one night in 2006. All footage was recorded on a camcorder using the built-in microphone but despite this the quality isn't too bad. It's amazing how much someone can change in a year, Jaime and I look so different now. Oh how I miss our old clothes, in case you don't know some of our gear fell out of the van and were lost forever and the rest were stolen along with various equipment at Lakeside.
Anyway don't forget to check out the Video Page
The van's final resting place.
