Recommended by The Reoffenders we are delighted to get an opportunity like this. We won’t be going Stateside for the foreseeable so this mini jaunt is a bonus. The Quails have been over recently and blew the place away, so there’s a challenge

Just for starters, we have published Weller’s interview with The Quails recorded on the gig guide 20th May 2009. Loads of chat and a stunning live performance from Max and Dan.
More snippets from Marnie, Katie Marie, Jules, Stuart Wills, Cole Stacey, TBA and Virtual Takeover will be up soon.
