The tracks for the new 'Never Ending Tour of Duty' EP have now been mixed down, the CD's are in production, the sleeves are being printed/cut/folded and generally cajoled into place. We are eagerly awaiting delivery on the 'NETOD' t-shirts that have been designed and hand-knitted by the lovely Ian. We have got one last rehearsal tonight to practice 3 set lists that comprise of about 4000 songs before we embark on the annual pilgrimage to see our great friends in the land of the clog for 4 days of music, mayhem and 'Squabblers' (Port & Jack Daniels for the uninitiated). This year we are joined by the superb 'Jagged Eyes' (www.myspace.com/thejaggedeyes) who are a brilliant, original 5-piece band from London. This being their first time we are planning on taking it very easy on them (not). So 'chocks away Algy' - lets set sail for the Orange land armed with only a spare pair of pants and a bottle opener - BRING IT ON!

Recording finished for the new BfC cd!! Thanks and well done to Chris for a late night, post gig, vocal session. Despite ill health, drunkeness, and an 18 hour working day, we got the tracks finished (mostly in one take for Chris, fantastic job mate!). Mixing and mastering next, but on schedule to be ready for Holland!!

We are very sorry to say that the gig on the 23rd May at the Swan in Brentwood has been cancelled due to an admin cock-up by the agent.
We are working on some new dates as we speak. We will update the website when they have been finalised.
