Here's another vid courtesy of BHone - it's of us playing "Volkspiotr" on the Curiosity Stage at the Bournemouth Live festival. You may not be able to tell from the clip, but it was absolutely hammering down with rain at the time (hence the duffelcoat), so I have to say a massive thankyou to all the people who must have gotten soaked watching us.
In other news, Gary's wife Simone gave birth to a girl on 21st June - her name is Ameile Jane, and we were formally introduced last week. I was amazed at how tiny and yet how perfectly formed she was - apparently all babies start off like that, but I guess I've never seen one so young before. Mum and Dad looked very pleased with themselves!
In upcoming gig news, Sancho are playing at the newly-refurbished Central in Parkstone this sunday evening, as part of an indoor extension to the afternoon's Grooves on the Green mini-fest, and Betika have just confirmed a support with Vincent Vincent and the Villains, just around the corner at Mr Kyps on Weds 18th July. Somewhere inbetwen we'll be doing the Larmer Tree festival and Littleboat will be playing at Latitude. There will then follow a brief Betika hiatus when we take time out to get married, go on holiday and that sort of thing, returning on 9th September with Glowglobes and Men Diamler @ Fruit.
