And Here is The News from Camp Fire..
First up I think we might have to apologise for being so rubbish at keeping in touch. One minute it was September and we were recording bits and pieces and planning Christmas Hootenanny’s and the next thing you know Falmouth’s basking in an early summer and we’re putting our festival heads (and hats) on. So sorry about that…
But you’ll be glad to know it’s been a good six months! Edited highlights include gigs at The Bedford in London, Mr Wolf’s in Bristol and The Barrelhouse in Totnes; getting our first bit of airplay on BBC 6 Music, and making the final 20 of the Red Stripe Music Awards.
And now we’re looking at a very busy and fun summer of driving around in our big white wagon playing summery loveliness to crowds of happy campers. Here’s the gig/festival list as it stands! Although please keep your eyes on www.myspace.com/allthefires as we’re hoping to confirm quite a few more in the next few weeks:
MONDAY MAY 3rd – Penryn May Day @ The King’s Head, Penryn (music from 8pm) Stage time about 9.30pm
SAT MAY 5th – Sunrise Festival, Bruton, Somerset (Playing in the boodiful Bimble Inn Tent) Stage time TBC
SUN JUNE 13th – Llama Festival @ The Blueball Inn, Lynmouth, Devon Stage time approx 3pm
TUES JULY 13th – The Alternative Stage @ Paolo Nutini Eden Sessions, Eden Project, Cornwall Stage time 5pm
SUN JULY 18th – Thunderfest, Powderham Castle, Devon. Stage time TBC
FRIDAY 6th AUGUST – Holifair Festival, Gweek, Cornwall. Stage time 6.30pm
SATURDAY 11th SEPTEMBER – Ivylive Festival, Ivybridge, Devon Stage time TBC
All we have to do now is install 6 new seats, a window, 5sqm of ply lining, some carpet and maybe an air vent or two to the van, and we’ll be all set! Hope to see some of you on the road. Beep if you see Bugs on the dashboard…
Finally, and back in the real, non-gigging world, we just want to congratulate Danny our electric guitarist and pedal peddlar on his impending nuptials. We are all very excited about his wedding in a few weeks, and wish him and Kelly a very good break in France afterwards. We were thinking we might all come along too, actually? Do a bit of work on our festival set? Wot you reckon Dan?
