How we love THE SHEPPEY
We had a BEAUTIFUL crowd. There was MUCH DANCING. There was a HEN. There was TIN WHISTLING. There was momentarily some sort of BALLET. There were UKELELE players.
AND we had FUN
Yes. FUN.
THANK YOU. Hope to see you again soon! xxx
Ha ha. In WHICH a Folk band masqueraded as a FOLK REGGAE band because WE CAN AND YOU CANNOT.
We had a big WOBBLING BAG OF FUN at this one… a superb crowd and crew xxx
It is a great festival. You will attend this each year.
Some photos with THANKS and LOVE to Michael Richard Price for his ability to record them.
This was a HIT & RUN Acoustic set IN THE HOT SUN (!) to an unsuspecting crowd at The Crown & Sceptre. This pub is ruled with a fist of pure tin by the Cornish Legend Known As Rodda.
We played our little hearts out. We flirted with everyone. We stood on the tables. We did not break them.
During SNOUT, a doggie barked with the crowd. He did not STOP barking. But he is allowed as he is a DOG.
We had a lovely time…

Oh my. What a superb crowd, and beautiful venue. We’d like to consider it one of our favouritististist gigs. That’s how lovely it was!
Thank you to the crew & especial thanks to Ant, Chairman of the Festival, for making it happen
It’s only a short time ago, but we’ll add what we find here, inc photos of women dancing dressed as My Little Ponies xx

Yes.
We are embarking on an EPIC FOUR DATE WEEKEND tour.
That’s right – if you live ANYWHERE close to SOME OF THESE GIGS you can ATTEND them.
If, by some GEOGRAPHICAL quirk, you do not LIVE near these places; please utilise forms of transport to ATTEND THEM.
The Sheppey!
Hello.
When we went to Art Couture Painswick, we decided to do some IMPROMPTU STUFF at the PEOPLE in the streets of BEAUTIFUL Painswick.
Little did we know that the divine Ms Kitten Von Mew had her MOVING IMAGE CAMERA cunningly POINTED at this MOMENT.
Here we cunningly fashion a cover of Beirut’s A Sunday Smile using naught but sticking tape and discarded WASHING UP BOTTLES.
What’s next for M.O.D you cry? Been a bit silent haven’t we. Uh huh. Yes. And we DO HAVE SOME BIG NEWS WHICH WE CANNOT TELL YOU ABOUT. MORE OF THIS LACKADAISICAL (and somewhat unbecoming) TEASING AT A LATER DATE.
We have also been silent because we are sneaking around and going through your DUSTBINS.
THAT IS NOT THE EXCITING NEWS EITHER.
But. YES.
It is YOUR OWN FAULT. Hence the DUSTBIN RATTLING.
ANYWAY.
We are going to be playing at the Art Couture Painswick Festival. What? What the deuce??
“Tigers? Where are the BOUNDERS?!” Cried Miggle, munching on a daisy and musing to himself in his happy place in the forest.
Sorry. Where were we? What BE THAT? It BE THIS. If you stand still long enough, you will be PAINTED in BEAUTIFUL COLOURS whilst your Favourite Folk Based Fools will serenade you with MUSICAL LOVE.
Like these folks. They stood still QUITE A WHILE. Now look at them. ALL PRETTY.
“Darling, I could swear I left the Sunday Magazine somewhere” whelped Wilberforce; whilst considering lunging at some biscuits in the Orangery.
THANK YOU.

HELLO
Look how we got a lesser known 80s indie band shoehorned into the title of this FIELD REPORT into our INVESTIGATIONS within SWINDON.
Upon ARRIVAL at THE BEEHIVE PUB; Badger, Alex, Arran & Ray MEARS were surprised to spy something INCREDIBLE.
WHAT WAS THIS THING?
I CAN BARELY BELIEVE THAT I, BADGER, AM RELATING THIS EPIC REVELATION, TO MY SECRETARY*, IN MY STUDY IN M.O.D TOWERS, DEAR READER…
…BUT…
HE WAS THERE.
MIGGLE.
THERE.
BEFORE WE EVEN GOT THERE!
This inexplicable MIRAGE was considered a PORTENT OF DOOM.
It was not, however, a PORTENT OF DOOM.
Amazingly, this turned out to be a SIGNIFICANT BLESSING.
We like SIGNIFICANT BLESSINGS, they help us to learn better MUSIC THEORY.
And, with that, we discovered the delights of CONSTANT TEA, Ale with pictures of the MIGHTY MALLARD on it, but MOST IMPORTANTLY a BEAUTIFUL and WHOLESOME WELCOME from the LOVELY “punters” and staff and THE SMILES & TEA FROM THE LOVELY BARPERSONS**.
Hooray!
AND GUESS WHAT.
As SOON As MIGGLE AWAKENS*** then it is LIKELY that we will TELL YOU about MORE gigs at THIS, our NEW favourite PUBLIC HOUSE.
Thank you

* Badger does not have a secretary. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Badger is open to offers, and is frankly somewhat desperate.
** This is considered GOLD STAR TREATMENT.
