Just remembered....

...that I had this blog and hadn't written anything on it in ages!...

SO! a bit of an update really... what have we been upto?! Well... where to start?

we got an album ready & available and have been slowly selling them at gigs and shows... never going to be a massive seller like that! so we've set up a bandcamp account where people can download the album, as well as a bigcartel account to buy our album, other CDs and mugs from!

We played one of our best shows in ages at Festival - which is a weekend for ex scouts, adult scouts and scout leaders... I know sounds a riot eh?! well actually Yes!! they were boisterous when we played at their weekend last year and this year? they were off the chain! We got a little bit giddy and had a right giggle onstage (including me playing Connect 4 against one of the crowd during HobbitSkit)... here's a couple of photos and a link to some Youtube clips....

So after the heckling and hilarity of Festival, we took a bit of a break whilst Hobbit went and battled in the UK Beatbox Championships Finals at the O2 in London. He went through the first bit, but battled Ballzee in the semi final, and held back a bit in reserve - which ended up as a mistake! The problem with battling is always, when do you give everything? when do you hold back? do you save your best stuff for later rounds? or give it all to make sure you get through? In the end, the pintsized dynamo was beaten in the Semis but beat one of the qualifiers, Beatfox to assure 3rd place. In the last 2 years, he's had a silver and a bronze so I KNOW that next year he'll be gunning for that top spot again!

On top of that, an elusive TV appearance for the man from the shire resulting in this!...

Click the link to see Hobbit on Blue Peter! (from about 6 mins onwards)...

And following that brush with stardom? what next? Why... a set in a tiny tea tent at Leamington Peace Festival of course!!...
As always seems the way, what began with a less that salubrious setting with the prospect of an audience of a couple of grannies having a cuppa, turned into a great little gig that we all really enjoyed! couple of pictures to follow....

You've never seen Hobbit so up for a gig! He did a solo section and a new loopstation tune which went on for nearly 20 mins on his own! The people of Leamington certainly seemed to enjoy themselves, and we could get Tea on tap as and when we wanted it - what a great show!!....

enough of an update for now - there'll be more of the same in the next 24 hours to catch up with the rest of our goings on..... promise!!....
