Well I think we've made it now!!

Thanks to our recent involvement with the film industry ('Beatles: Rare and Unseen' DVD and independent film 'A Very British Coverup') we've 'qualified' to appear on Wikipedia.

Here's the link to the entry:

Number One on The Unsigned Chart!

What a week!

Of course, it started off with the trip to Liverpool and the International Pop Overthrow festival. This was our third appearance at the IPO in a row and this was without doubt our best yet.

Our first appearance was on Saturday at the Cavern Club. We've played the Cavern Club on countless occasisons but this was by far the biggest and roudiest audience we've played there. We went on stage around 11 and by the end of the set we had really given it our best show. To top it all off we got the first (and as far as we know) and the only encore at the whole festival. Time is at a real minimum during the festival so to get an encore was a real special occasion.

On Sunday we hit the streets of Liverpool early and did an off the cuff performance in the town centre, with just one amp and a mic. Despite the low-fi equipment we had a great time and pulled a decent crowd around us. In the evening we played at the Cavern Pub, just across the road from the Cavern Club. Once again we ripped up the stage and had a great time - and then headed down the M1 that evening. Fortunately our trip home was less complicated than the one up there - it took us 10 hours to get to Liverpool on Saturday!

To top off the week we had the Unsigned Chart to look forward to. Previously we hit number one with You'll Be Mine and number four with Emma. This time we had Little Louisa hitting the chart. Little Lou had already climbed to number three the previous month so we were really hoping that it would stayin the top five. Did it hell - it made NUMBER ONE!

Thanks to everyone that voted Little Louisa to number one. To get two number ones in such a short time really is great and we couldn't have done it without your help.
