November Tour: London - Leeds - Manchester - Liverpool.

Timed impeccably to tie in with a bout of bad colds, the band set out through the rain and mist to take our noize to the other end of the country. Despite illness being rife, everyone on the Promise Bus (er, well Toby's van) had a great week away, highlights including supporting the Words at the Factory in Manchester, revisiting the iconic Cavern Club and having a morning off to stroll around the enchanted docks... of Goole (old brick wall capital of the world!).

The band also made an appearance on the Dave Monks show on BBC Radio Merseyside on Sunday 13th November an hour before playing the Cavern. Unfortunately the planned live performance on the show to accompany the interview was postponed due to Zo's bad throat. We'll hopefully be rescheduling the session for early next year.

An overnight journey back south, finally arriving in Perranporth at 6.15am, drew the tour to a close. Thanks to everyone who put us on, came to the gigs, put us up for the night, fed us etc. Looking forward to heading back up north very soon!

A mini documentary about the band's travels will be released in December.
