We will be playing at Liverpool Sound City on Thurs 17th of May. We played there last year so it will be good to be back! After that we will be playing in Exodus Coleraine. We haven’t played the North Coast in a while so we are really looking forward to it. Then we have our homecoming gig in Belfast with the Mighty Duke Special, it’s part of Gifted Live at The Empire and it will be streamed live at gifted live.com, check it out!
Here are the credits for the new CD. These people have helped us get to where we are now as a band. Some of they may have not been part of this CD, but we felt that we needed to acknowledge them in this way…

We will also be making some videos for a few of the songs on the EP which will be up very soon, so keep an eye out on our Facebook and youtube channel.
