Painswick
Blues concluded its long run of shows with a double-bill of Never
The Bride on the club's final two dates 16 & 17 March. We've provided
systems and sound engineers for all the shows there since January 2003,
and we'll miss the club's atmosphere and standard of music.
Future occasional shows are planned there
(probably on a smaller scale), so keep your eye on their website.

When
The
Hub in Cheltenham closed in September last year, the
monthly Shush event
needed a new venue. A successful re-launch party at Thirteen
Degrees on 7 December has put the venue at the top of the list for regular
Shush events in 2007 (check the Shush
website for the latest news and details).

The decision of
John Eeles to
withdraw from P.A. hire (he is still actively involved in festival
management) has left a space in the business locally, and although we are
sorry to see him leave, we are also glad of some of the new business this
has brought us. One of the principal gains has been more frequent
involvement with Dean
Arts (in the Forest of Dean), and we have several events scheduled for
2007 - the first on 9 March - which will be detailed on our Gigs
page as they get closer.

Beyond The Border
didn't happen in 2006 (see their website for future events).

Pete
Roe's CD - Propeller - has finally arrived. It was worth waiting for,
however.

The
evening of rock on 29 April - featuring yoU2
(with support acts A+E and Chasing Flash - at the Watson Hall in Tewkesbury cleared £2,000 in aid of the Southmead Hospital Tiny Lives campaign. As
well as that obvious success, it was also a great show. Future similar
fundraising events are in the pipeline (watch this space).
Another fundraising event
we were involved with at the Painswick Centre on 24 February - featuring Too Hot
To Handle - raised over £1,300 for World
Vision. Again, further events are planned.

At the end of last
year Nizlopi
reached No. 1 in the UK charts with the JCB Song.
We first met them at Shush
a few months earlier. Most of the artists that perform there are just as good, so if you
want a chance to see a UK No. 1 band before anyone else knows about them, give it a try!

The Music Revolution
in Bristol has been cancelled until further notice. We'll give you more
information as soon as we have any ourselves. The
Little Film Company recorded most (if not all) of the previous shows, &
there are some samples on their Music
page.

Anyone who knew
him or ever saw him play will mourn the death of Tich Gwilliam in a house fire
in June. We have all heard people talk about guitar heroes
(as Clapton put it: "there's one in every crowd"), but Tich was pure
Zen. Those of you who never knew him have lost more than those of us who did.
His funeral - attended by many from the South Wales music community - was
on 1 July. Tributes: Glyn
Knight; Mike
Monk.
