Yep, its official, we're going Baaa-ck to the Tamworth Country Music Festival for 9 gigs in 11 days in mid January.

 

I'll blather on about the dates and times in due course...or you could always look up there in the calendar to your right.

 

With 4 albums done (well, 3.5 if you count Spacejunk as an EP, which you should) and the next one in pre production, we have the issue of what set to put together.

 

Now apparently, there are two schools of thought. 

 

School 1

 

%@&# it. We'll play what we play.

 

School 2

 

Let's look at the feels of the songs, their style and content, the time of day, the likely audience and the venue and try to craft well thought out 'shows' by spending hours angst-ing over song and instrument arrangements, acoustic Vs Electric, guests/no guests....

 

Can you guess which option we took?

Ok, no worries, this will be simple, we just need to get all the songs on a sheet, cut them up into individual pieces and then start arranging them into sets.

 

Easy we'll put these here.
