Look out your window and you'll see the sun beating down which means
that summer is rapidly approaching... four days of sweltering heat, the
tubes will all break down, traffic will grind to a halt, but you
won't mind because the world has suddenly become full of very attractive
people wearing very few clothes...
But what was my point? I forget exactly but it
probably had something to do with the run of gigs we have coming up.
NEXT GIG
: The Dublin Castle, Camden : Sun Apr 28 2002
Firstly and most importantly is the Dublin
Castle gig this Sunday in Camden. BE THERE!!! Lots of you have been
asking for weekend gigs so we're really looking forward to seeing you
there. It's an important venue on the circuit and the promoters run a
couple of other important band nights around London.
£5 entry (remember to say you've come to see The
Beckett). Better still, entry is £4 with a flier which you can download
by visiting www.thebeckett.co.uk/flyers
and print them off yourself!! Doors open at 8.45.
LAST GIG
: The Kings Head, Fulham : Wed 27 Mar
Just a quick note to say thanks for those that
made it to the Kings Head gig. It was nice to headline again and it's a
good venue with a great sound system. If you were there, you heard...
LTF Intro : Velvet Breeze : Broken : Just Dreams : You : On and On :
NovaCold : Walking With Butterflies : Cowboy Song.
FOR YOUR DIARIES
LONDON - CAMDEN
: The Dublin Castle, Camden : Sun Apr 28 2002
Steeped in musical history and presenting some of the
finest signed and unsigned bands in the country, The Dublin Castle is
one of a handful of venues where it's reckoned you're guaranteed to hear
the hottest new musical property. You already know we fall into that
category so come along for the Guinness, the craic and The madness
memorabilia.
LONDON - WEST END
: The Lil Backyard Club, West End : Fri 17 May 2002
This night used to be held at a venue by Great
Portland Street station and was always a great night out in a really
intimate environment. The night is now held in a pub called The Phoenix
which is apparently behind Oxford Street somewhere. Apparently it's an
even better venue so we look forward to testing their new home!
PUTNEY
: The Half Moon, Putney : Thu May 30 2002
After rocking their venue earlier this month, those
nice people at the Half Moon asked us back again and we just didn't have
the heart to turn them down. If the last gig was anything to go by, it
should be a great night. Come down early and give some support to our
two support bands.
As always, further details and maps to the venues can
be found on our website www.thebeckett.co.uk/gigs.
CD'S FOR SALE
: <<title goes here>> : released March 11

always, it's priced at £4 and you can get yours from us directly, by

NEW STUFF
: first public airing at a gig near you...
We've been oh so busy writing new material recently
and seem to be getting even closer to exactly the sound and feel that
we're after. We expect to present one new song at each of the next three
gigs which should be incentive enough in itself! to get your a*ses
down to all the gigs.
Don't forget - the next date for your diaries is the
Dublin Castle gig in Camden this Sunday. Look forward to seeing you
there.
The Beckett are David Prestwich, Emlyn Hall, George Georgiou, Mark
Brimson and Mark Wardle. This has been a Sunday Session Production.
