Getting Ready For The New Year & New Career

In a couple of weeks we'll be embarking on two new exciting projects, one short term and the other long term. What could be so exciting, I hear you cry, that Nic would stay in on a Friday night and write? Well, regardless of my (very quiet) social life I thought it important that the world knows what we're up to.

OK, number 1, we're doing our first London residency. Whilst we've always played "one-offs" all over the world we're actually going to be staying in one place, for three weeks and it's in our home town! Hoorah. We're going to be playing from Wednesday, January 25th until Sunday, February 12th at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith. We're singing every day except for Mondays and it is going to be a great warm up for our second project, more of which later.

You can expect some of the old magnet faves as well as material that we're working on for the brand new show.

There was an advert in today's evening standard and more details can be found the Riverside Studios Website.

And, number 2, we're changing our career! (oh, only that...!!)
As Michael wrote in an earlier post we're changing the focus of what we do. We've teamed up with a renown production company to produce an internationally touring theatre show. A sort of "Stomp" with voices. VOX POP is the name of our new show and we're going to be having the World Premier (cue..."ooooooo") in Hamburg on March 8th.

At the moment we're still working with the director on the final concept but it is going to be an absolutely spectacular piece of theatre (we hope). Along with us we are working with a Tony and Olivier Award winning designer, an award winning director and the production company who found, produced and toured the multi-award winning show "Tap Dogs". Needless to say we're hoping that their collective experience coupled with our talent and experience will make a fabulous show.

Tickets for the Hamburg run are already on sale....check out the following links..

So we hope to see you all in London, Hamburg or one of the other places we're taking Vox Pop this year. At the moment it looks like we'll be visiting Germany, Holland, South Africa, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and that's all before christmas.

Anyway, enough for the moment, I'm sure, really sure that my phone is going to ring any moment with a hot date...surely...somone...anyone....!!
