The
Orange Street newsletter, 3rd January 2005.
News.
Four
gigs in December to talk about. First gig of the month we were back in
Netley, and as requested so many times, we will be coming back as soon as
possible (March). The next gig was our biggest gig to date, approximately
500 people turned up to see Bad Manners, The Beat and Orange Street at
Southsea Pier. We also managed to get a recording of this gig (more
below). The next gig was back in Farnborough at the Tumbledown Dick for
the A5 Scooter club Christmas party. We had two fantastic support bands,
"Joeys Dead" and "Well-a-live", we are planning on
putting more events during the year partnering with those. Final gig
of the month was another one in front of a capacity crowd. The Carling
Academy in Islington saw Bad Manners, The Big and Orange Street. In all, a
big month for the band, and a great high to end the year on.
Pictures
from three of the December gigs are already uploaded to the website, the
final gig pics will be uploaded shortly.
As
mentioned above, we managed to get a good recording of the Southsea Pier
gig. This is now on our CD titled "So this is Tango!" and is
available from gigs for £4 each, or on the website at £4.50 (the extra
to cover P&P). Click the "Shop" button to access samples

January
is intentionally a quiet month for us. We have had a busy year so are
taking things a little slow for a few weeks. The one gig we do have booked
should be a great evening. One Step Below (from Bristol) are visting Mr
Kyps in Poole on Saturday 15th Jan. We have supported them before, it was
an excellent night. A few pics/comments from that gig are available at the
following link:-
Finally
we would like to thank everyone for their support during 2004 and hope we
can count on you again in 2005.
