Herd - the hidden truth about who we are

Hold the dates

 

Two upcoming dates for you in the first weekend in September.

First, for music lovers we've put together a fundraising night on the 7th at the Bull & Gate (4 bands including Kevin Duncan's Fastback, the Scratch Band and our own skatastic Big Shorts), raising money for the Bolivian streetkids project we've been supporting for ages!

Do come down - it'd be great to have a packed show! More details here. 

Then on the Sunday morning...

I'm very excited to be doing one of the School of Life's Sunday Sermons on Copying and Originality BUT you'll need to sign up here as tickets are selling pretty fast.

There'll be singing (but not signing) and some jumping (but not too much) and special biscuits and maybe a visit from ol' Lucifer himself..

We've had a lot of fun putting these together so it'd be great to see you at either/both!

Big Shorts love (live)

Fingers crossed: next Tuesday eve (weather and viruses various permitting)

For those who like their Christmas slightly less Dickensian and more in-a-Camden-stylee, looking forward to seeing you. Dresscode: as you are (although Fez's always look good).

And yes (c/o @Saramarshall) we've got a new way (see above) to share the Big Shorts love....(it helps fans recognise each other....)

Join a gang

 
The Big Shorts about to take the stage last week.

Join a gang (as Kurt Vonnegut famously observed). Or a band.

Do stuff with other people.

Don't try to do it on your own - It's only human

The Joy of Making Music together

I don't know about you but I've had a rubbish week. Not sure next week's going to be much better, either!

But we're going to end it on a high note: making music together. Almost as old as humanity itself and a surefire way to lift the spirits!

"First night nerves and one-night stands", my arse. We're going to have a wild night in Camden

If you're in London on Friday 23rd, do come and join us for a raucous evening of glam and ska (and, I suspect, quite a lot of beer).

Now (as Newy famously says in HERD),...1-2-3-4....
