The Surrogate Child You Never Had...

About Me

Hello, This is "Southwell So Far" It started with me, James Houghton and my good friend Roger Goetze just randomly playing together and recording a few covers...and then we decided "We need to make this better!" so we started are search for a drummer, when last resort Edward Hale told us he couldn't do it......we were in dismay......then from nowhere after months of searching......Neil Dodd came through the mist of spring and completed us, and in April 2006 a new band was formed and Neil Dodd came up with an amazing joke. The punchline being "Sid Sideboard and the Two Chairs" so from that point onwards we were called, SSAT2C, and for months we practiced until June 2006 when we got our first gig at a music evening in Wentworth......It went well......After that we had a new place to practice, when we entered there was a sign on the wall.(Reacreates Scene)James: "Whoa! Thats Kinda' Cool" (Points To Sign)Neil: (Says in Awe) "Oh Yeah"James: (Says Jokingly) "You Know What We Should Change Our Name To That" (Points Again)Roger: "Yeah that sounds like a proper name"Neil: "Fuck Yeah"James: "Really?"Roger and Neil: (In Unison) "Yeah!"James: "Alright then..." (Curtains Close)And on that sign was written......Southwell Gardens......and that is how we are called Southwell Gardens...and since the new name we have written some songs including...The Massive "Hit Save The Trees" and "Twist"......Since Then We Have written a few more numbers for the enjoyment of others...Plus the one's already done...1. Twist 2. Summer Blues 3. Cigarette 4. All The Above 5. Drunken Glances 6. Sixteen 7. That's Enough Kid 8. Hello, Goodbye 9. Save The Tree'sWhich have all been played recently at Liz's House Party and will be at future Gigs......We do a few covers, here and there and are looking to cover more...Suggestions?...And are still writing a few numbers......Anyway we play to have fun and if you wanna give us a gig drop us a line, and you never know we might eventually make something of it, but until then it's goodbye for now like......Much Love...Southwell Xxxx Extended Banner Editor MySpace Editor MySpace Layouts Glitter Words MySpace
