Welcome to 2002, and to our predictions for the New Year…
This is the year that will see The Beckett play even
greater gigs, to even more people and to even more praise. Expect to see
us playing at universities and venues across the country, expect radio
play, and expect gig reviews in the national music press. These aren't
just far-out predictions; all these things are in the pipeline for the
next twelve months. So now you know why we've seemed so quiet recently!!
NEXT GIG
: The Half Moon, Putney : Wed Feb 6 2002 : 8.30pm
The Beckett's next performance is at The Half Moon in
Putney, a venue famous for hosting The Rolling Stones, The Who, U2, Van
Morrison and Elvis Costello, as well as more recently My Vitriol,
Symposium, Squeeze and Marti Pellow and soon The Beckett.
Entry is £4 and the venue is situated by the river at
93 Lower Richmond Road, Putney, London, SW15. Nearest tube is Putney

NEW CD

We've been working hard on our new 'core' set over the

Garden in November as well as to the rest of the set. We'll be in the
studio in the next few weeks to work on a new CD available in March.
