SESSION FOR VPRO / BEER ADVICE / THANKS

We recorded a half hour session for VPRO, Dutch TV. Lamps and fires are property of the studio and not our usual on-stage equipment, though if anyone has a flightcase for a 3-bar imitation wood gas fire then let us know. Songs are Castle Keep, Silbury Sands, Cotton Strands, Dorney Reach and Morning Born:

Its not too bad, I (Joe) ain’t too happy as my amp had the flu after being subjected to Belgian cobbles, but all in all its ok, our first TV recording, so was a bit nerve wracking if we’re honest.

Some other informative images from our mini tour:

Megatunnel

Vera, Groningen

Beursschouwburg Cafe, Brussels (an incredible place, highly recommended)

Ben is a legend


Whoever did this poster at the Trix, please contact us! The font is superb. Also worth mentioning DJ Anatool Mongool, who played some top records, especially dropping Mikael Ramel at the end!

Also, If you’re ever in Europe/Holland/Utrecht, we recommend a beer called “Westmalle” (no affiliation)

Thanks to all the people who looked after us with fine cheeses, beers and accommodation, it was great, it was too short and we want to do more.

cheers
