About Me

..

Hello Again !

.. ..

Well It ’s 2009 and we’re still together!

We’ve played a few gigs now and we’re pretty much

back to where we were, when we left off all those years ago, better maybe.

.. ..

Last year we were at Victoria Park Hackney, Endorse it, Solfest

and Shambala festivals, and we played a cracking gig

at the Hootenanny Pub in Brixton in late December.

.. ..

This year we’re hoping to do pretty much the same thing,

we’ve had a couple of offers, but nothing confirmed as yet.

We’ll let you know as and when gigs get confirmed

So you can book those tickets, or know which festys to avoid,

depending on your taste.

If you would like to book us, please contact us through this page.

It is being admin’ed fairly regularly.

.. ..

Songs-wise we’re not going to write anything new as yet ( sorry !)

But we do plan to re-surface a few more old numbers

and there’s a remix project which is slowly under way

for no other reason, than it’s fun to rework old stuff.

The results will go up here on the player, as they are finished.

If they’re popular, we may even release a few of them digitally.

Check the Turtles mix and the Starved mix for the progress so far.

.. ..

Thanks for tuning in

And please, if you have any requests for gigs or anything else, let us know.

.. ..

Love

The Planets
