Tickets are on-sale from today for our show at the Whitley Bay Playhouse as part of the Mouth of the Tyne Festival 2013. On Thursday July 11th we’ll be performing a cappella and acoustic arrangements from the ‘Rant‘ album, with some songs from the back catalogue thrown in as well.

Taking place at Newcastle University Student Union, St Os Fest will see a whole host of bands performing as their favourite artists, in true ‘Stars in their eyes’ style! More of the line-up will be announced very soon, but we’ll be joined by Maximo Park’s Paul Smith who’ll be spinning records into the early hours. There’ll be one of a kind raffle prizes, too, and all proceeds will be going to St Oswald’s Hospice (whose work you can check out here: www.stoswaldsuk.org )
