The Orange Street
newsletter, 1st November 2005.
October Gigs
Four gigs in October. First
up was the Aces Cafe in London. Next up was our home gig at the Red Lion in
Totton, very busy as usual. The Cowplain Social club was next up which was
surprisingly busy (very rare for Social Clubs) and the final gig of the month
was at The Hampshire Rose in Purbrook.
Upcoming Gigs
Only two gigs booked in
November.
Saturday 12th November,
Silly Arses Scooter Club charity night, The Blue Lagoon, Hilsea.
Saturday 19th October, Mr
Kyps, Poole.
New Singer Debut
A big congratulations from
all the rest of the band to Rob on his successful debut for Orange Street at
the Hampshire Rose in Purbrook. Everyone in the band agreed that it was a
great performance, welcome to the band. If anyone has any pictures of this
gig, please email them in to us.
New bass player needed
It's kind of hard to write "Tony is leaving the band", but I am. Impending
family commitments are the reason. I have had two and a half years with
Orange Street and made some friends I will keep for the rest of my days on
the planet, so it was a very hard decision to make. But family is on the way
and I want to be there to experience it so need to cut down the amount of
time I spend on the band. So if there is anyone out there interested in
becoming the new bass player, please contact Lee on 07887
531 959 to arrange an audition.
Gig Cancelled
We have had to cancel the gig at the North Star on 17th December. Sorry to
those who had planned to come along.
The Orange Street
Christmas Party
We have booked The Empire
Hall in Totton for our 2005 Christmas Party. Tickets are selling quite fast,
