Well, seeing as most days there is not much to report, I have decided to coin the SM “Slow News Sunday Summary”. A look at what morsels have been reported via SMO or other related avenues during the past seven days. Cherisse on tour with Kelly Jones in June/July Sir’s been to Sicily Sarah’s Saturday…
News of a Caezar gig towards the end of November was revealed today. Joe and JJ will be playing Saint Luke’s on November 23rd, with King Of Birds once again as support. I couldn’t turn back round after two weeks to make their date in February but I’ll pull out all the stops to try…
After Thursday’s affair at The Stranglers gig, I was thankful to know that I’d be seated at the Stewart Copeland gig.

Upon recommendation by sound engineer extraordinaire, Olivier Gerard (aka GG) – I present to you, Whispering Sons. Currently on tour in the UK. I just missed out seeing them in Bristol. The play Glasgow tonight. And as Sod’s law would have it, they play The Lexington on Saturday, but I’m seeing Stewart Copeland that night….
