The Orange Street newsletter, May 6th 2004.
 
News.
Four great gigs in April. Our first gig at Breezers in Eastleigh, a very busy night also attended by the Solent Cougars. Then 3 gigs on successive days, The St Georges day celebration (back working with 2-tonic for the first time in a long time), the Horseshoe in Portsmouth (absolute cracker of a night, well attended and plenty of new friends (hello Madboo)) and then finishing at "Gander on the Green" in Bournemouth (another cracker of a gig, we will be back in September).
 
We will be launching a forum on the website soon. The final touches are being applied, keep an eye out. There will be sections for discussing gigs and anything else related to the band and hopefully a ska/2tone gig guide (depending on other input).
 
Don't forget the Fans Gallery (under the "About Us" section on the website). If you see yourself in a pic somewhere on the website, or have a pic of you on the way to a gig or at a gig, let us know by e-mailing info@orangestreet.co.uk with your name and a comment and you will be added.
 
We have also secured the domain name http://www.orangestreet.co.uk. We will still keep thisisska.co.uk so no need to update any links. All e-mail addresses also still work.
 
May is a busy month as well. 8th May at The Holbury Inn (rescheduled from earlier in the year), 15th May at the Fleming Arms in Swaythling, HMS Collingswood on the 28th and finally the Hoeford Inn (Fareham) on the 29th.
 
Finally we are still looking got a new keyboard player. Richie from Urban Rhythm is helping at a few gigs, but we still need someone permanent. So if you know anyone, get them to contact us (there is a full advert for a new keyboard player on the website).
