Tour
We're had a brilliant time on the road the last couple of weeks and want to say a massive thank you to those who have been down to see us, we've been really enjoying getting to play our new material and the crowds every night have been fantastic.
Crisis Hidden Gig
We're going to be playing on Tues 2nd June as part of the Crisis Hidden Gigs series. The show takes places in London but the venue will remain a secret until 24 hours before to highlight the fact that most homeless people don't know where they'll end up sleeping each night. For tickets please visit crisis.org.uk and seetickets.com
Gaymers Grassroots
We will be playing a small homecoming show in Wigan on Sunday 26th April as part of the Gaymers Grassroots Gigs series. Tickets for this intimate gig aren't on sale, so for a chance of winning a pair please click here but hurry up as the competiton ends on Sunday!!!
Festival announcements
We're really pleased to confirm that we'll be playing at T in The Park, and the Indie Guitar Music Festival this summer - we're hoping to have even more festivals confirmed over the next couple of weeks. As soon as
any get added to our schedule we'll put them on the website
Phil Spector
As many of you will have seen in the news this week, Phil Spector, who produced two of the tracks on Silence is Easy has been convicted of murder.
'Recording with Phil Spector was an amazing experience at the time. I had grown up with 'Imagine' and was just getting into the brilliant 'Born To Be With You'( the album Spector produced for Dion) when we got the call. The two tracks 'Silence Is Easy' and 'White Dove' were recorded in the first week of working with him. He then returned to LA and came back to England some weeks later a different character. The out going charismatic producer we had met previously had become withdrawn and hard to communicate with. We persevered as long as we could out of respect for the man and his reputation but eventually we had to call it a day. Some weeks later while the album was being mixed we heard he had been arrested for murder. It is hard for me to pass judgement on whether he is guilty or innocent. We certainly never saw an aggresive side to him while we worked with him but like everybody else we do not know exactly what went on inside that house.'
Twitter Song
James recently posted a new acoustic song via his twitter page twitter.com/jamesstarsailor which is called Evermore. To hear the track just scroll back through James' enteries until you get to April 10.

All The Plans
Our next single will be the album's title track 'All The Plans.' It will be available by download from June 15.
