Well I'm back from mi trip to Treasure Island and happy to report that Marky Le Vibe completed his little bike odyssey and raised an impressive £1200 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance..... Well done Dude!!! Absolutbrilliant!

Our drummer lad has a brand new bike! - He got it off the net - He's been laying down the hammer.............. Read on....................

On May 1st Mark and his bike and the bike and Mark will be undertaking an epic cycle ride. Some 270 miles in 3 days in aid of the .

Day 1 - Huddersfield to Hull, Day2 -Hull to Scarborough, Day 3 Scarborough to Harrogate.

To date he's managed to raise over £900! He'd love to raise more. So any sponsors for his trip to the seaside and back would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't feel comfortable about sponsoring on-line you can text him on 07936210611 & he'll put you on his sponsor form. He's been training his little legs off following in "Jon's slip- stream".

So to everyone who's already been very generous Mark would like to say a massive THANK YOU!!!

Great gig last night at The Tap, despite the male strip and beer knocking competition down at the front! Thanks to all the usual suspects for your support. See ya at the Coniston in a few weeks.

As you can see from above we be in Idle on the 16th talking of idle `tis a thing that afflicts me on here so please check the facebook link below for more up to date gossip.

The recordings are coming on albeit slowlike - but we're gettting there. We've started mixes on the first six: Perfection, Daddy's Got a Brand New Gun, Sectioned, The Wreck of the Geoffrey Jones, Dead Line Wire, and Shame on You.

Finally - we are gonna commit some tunes in to the digital ether. This is hopefully going to be a two CD affair. The first a live recording of the next Cross Keys gig on Saturday 22 October 2011, and the second will be an albums worth of original material which we've been penning over the last few years This stuff doesn't usually make the live set but Jonny's has a new digikul portastudio and he's not afraid to use it now he's read the manual! First tracks will be recorded in the next couple of weeks. Soooooooooooo should make for a great present for anybody who likes to buy pressies after the Xmas festivities have long disappeared in to the dim and distant. Hip Hip Hooray!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. "What a lazy tosser I've been and how out of date this web site has been allowed to get into.

So wonder of wonders here is an update. All dates for 2011 added, Hope you like the new Splash Page! Fetching I'm sure you'll agree.

Dave is keeping the facebook page a lot more up to date than me on here so please refer to that for up to date info which'll probably catch up on here six months later.

Well I just realised what a lazy tosser I've been and how out of date this web site has been allowed to get into.

Some gig changes: Brewery Tap on the 10th April is Cancelled. A return to Garfield's Sports Bar - Saturday October 16th - Bridge Tavern gig to be re-scheduled. Cross Keys October 9th now moved to Saturday 30th

No winners on our little competition yet. Thousands of entries....all wrong. Well who'd have thought The Vibe in Twenty Ten! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See ya on the other side of Big Ben.

All gigs for 2010 added. A free Vibe T-shirt to the first person that solves the following cryptic clue in connection with the new gig diary for 2010. [roll on Marky's busted drums] "The gold at the end of this rainbow may help us get to play at 22 locations all over the capital" To win you need to identify all 22 locations.

Two great gigs over the last couple of weeks Brewery Tap and new venue The Sycamores. Lots of new faces in the crowd so we must be doin' summat right. New dates for 2010 coming in soon. Stay tuned; don't piss about with ya set.

Fantastic weekend just gone at Acrestock 2009. After last years shitty rain it looked like more of the same this time around but the weather was kind (cold for the audience but nice 'n' snug 'n' warm for us up under the lights). Big thanks to Tony, Mike, Bev and Sarah and everybody who came and made it a top night. Some pix here more to follow.

In the meantime check out the gig archives for updated pix for gigs earlier this year.
