The Lights Have All Gone Down.....

Hi Folks,

First of all thanks to everyone who came and saw us at the Style & Winch a few weeks ago. It was great to catch up with a few people I've not seen for quite a while.

It's been an intense and full on year for the Lovedays, from IPO Festivals to Chart ambitions etc. and we've all enjoyed taking the music to new places and higher levels. There have been quite a few rumours, some quite bizarre, over the past week about the future. People have been talking to me as if one of us have died! The truth is we are taking the rest of the year off. Beyond that, no decision has been made.

The upside of this, is that it gives Ben a chance to focus and promote his solo material, which I have banged on to him about releasing since I heard it last year. There is a new website where you can download the new album called "Echobox", check out future dates and news.
Ben Jones Echobox

Sam will still be gigging with the Geoff Everett band, Dean will be learning to play even faster and I'm off to Las Vegas to work as an Elvis impersonator.


To everyone who has donated thier time, money, blood & tears - THANKYOU.

Lounge On The Farm 2010

Yet again I have had the opportunity to support my local festival Lounge On The Farm. This year The Lovedays hit the main stage on Saturday. Any misgivings anyone, including myself, may have had about transferring the raw energy and musicality of the band to a large stage was instantly swept aside as we launched into The House Of Cards. For an early slot we drew a huge crowd, who clearly enjoyed it.

I returned to the festival on Sunday to watch Audio Karma and loads of people stopped me to chat about how much they enjoyed our set. Thank you to everyone who came to see us.

After Audio Karma I managed to see Phil Jupitas & his comedy all-stars pack out the Playhouse tent, one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. The sun has set on another great festival, and with so many other local festivals not happening I can only hope LOTF 2011 will go ahead.
The Lovedays will be returning to their roots at The Style & Winch in Maidstone this Friday, followed by The Forum in Tunbridge Wells the following Wednesday (22nd July).

Hope to see you in the next couple of weeks,

Paul.
