I’ve been ridiculously lax in updating lately, so here’s a quick summary of what’s happened recently.

The Hummingbird CDs showed up very very late. Too late for the planned launch gig. So we’re in the middle of planning a relaunch gig for some point in August. I’ll keep you posted. However, we’ve still put the EP out there, so get over to the shop page if you want a copy, or show up at a gig…it’s £3.

Gigs: We’ll be in Derby quite a bit in the coming weeks, I’m at the Royal this Thursday for GO:CLUB, doing a solo set. That’s free entry, so you’d be rather daft to miss it. 18+ with Blighters (amazing band) headlining. We’ll be at the Royal as the full band on the 24th July, and that’s for the YOU-V-ME EP launch. We’re the main support act on the night and it’s 14+. Going to be a really great gig, so make sure you get down to that.

Couple more things on the cards, so I shall hopefully try to keep this updated from now on!

Two headed girl, you were my first love.
The only love that I want to remember.

And if you want me to, I’ll fly right to the sun.
It’s not as natural for me; you are the only one, to soar so high.
Like Icarus, I’ll burn these fragile wings.
In attempt to get much closer, oh I’m such a feeble thing.

Hello all,

Just thought I’d post one to keep you all up to date with what I’ve been doing!

As you’ll know, there are some cracking gigs coming up, so I’ve been doing a lot regarding them. I’ve also been doing a lot of planning for the next CD. You heard it here first! New CD! Probably in May. The Sharp Knees are up and running, and everything is going really cool!

If you like what I do, may I take this opportunity to ask you to sign up to my mailing list? Would be awesome if you could!

Thanks!

Evening all,

Just letting you know that the band has been named. If you see a gig listed as “w/the Sharp Knees”, then you know I’ll have my band with me. That’s right:

Sam Bennett and the Sharp Knees.

New gig listings coming soon, including that one at Trent Uni, the first gig to feature the Sharp Knees. It’s an exclusive!

Had the first proper rehearsal with the band last night.

Let me tell you, it’s shaping up a treat. I’m really looking forward to playing with these guys, and you can see us on the 20th February and the Nottingham Trent Student Union on Shakespeare Street. It’s going to be a great gig, and I’m can’t wait to get started. I believe there will be advance tickets available, but I’ll let you know closer to the date.

Until then, keep an eye out, because I’ve got a lot of news for everyone, and it’s all good!

Peace x

Sorry about the lack of updates lately!

Been relaxing over the Christmas period, but I’m back and I’m ready to roll, so keep your eye out for updates, including upcoming gigs.

I’ll see you all soon.

Hey,

Had a great gig last night supporting the All New Adventures of Us. Also featured was Sam Isaac and his band. All of whom are lovely, all of whom are awesome. Really great gig.

Anyway, the news is here. I’ve finally finalised a line up for my band. I’ll be playing the majority of my gigs with these guys. They don’t have a name yet They’re called the Sharp Knees, expect to see a lot of them in the new year.

There’s three of ‘em:

Danny A - Guitar
Shane E - Bass
Peter D - Drums

Them’s my boys.
