Three more cheers to @gidcoe.bsky.social for playing "Honey" from our 2006 @marcrileydj.bsky.social session last night. We travelled all the way to Manchester, leaving Welsh Wales at 5:30am, to play two songs that last for less than 2 minutes each. Glory days. See below for ticket links...

It’s Freddie Mercury’s birthday AND it’s Bandcamp Friday so why not buy a copy of our “LIVE AT THE BBC” album (featuring a cover of Queen’s “You’re My Best Friend”) from the good people at @precrecs.bsky.social and all the money will go to them?

#OTD in 2001, we did the first of our four John Peel sessions at the Maida Vale studios. We did “Little Girl Blues”, “Chelsea Girl”, “When My Baby Comes” and the freshly written “Just Like Bobby D”

We played Jumpin’ Jacks a few more times after that (including one gig where Becky played drums because George went to Glastonbury) and had a Monday night DJ residency at one point.
It’s now a 90s theme pub. Time eh?
