Bars made from Palm Trees

Escobar in Wakefield last night. Headline band dropped out last minute (cheers to the several Preston bands and minor celebrities who jumped to Russ' aid when he was told to find a bass amp at a few hours notice), so modest crowd but great reaction. New song Cinderella Walls got people moving and Eldon Street turned a bit chaotic; people danced, people sang and I turned round at the end to find Jonny on the floor.

Preston tonight, so we had to shoot back, but Wakefield looks like a great night out, it's even got a Latin quarter, so hopefully we'll be back there before too long.

We're playing the Mad Ferret this evening, it all kicks off around 9.30pm and it's free entry, so you've no excuses not to be there. Also check out our good friends the Duelling Pistols at the Ship Inn at 9pm on your way down.

We're joined by Where's Strutter?, who were main support to Pete Doherty in Manchester on Monday and are looking to do big things. The show is opened by Chorley's The Dime Show, and it's Tom the drummer's birthday, so get down from the start to make sure he has a good one.
