Unfortunately, I ran into a spot of bother with a vehicle impounder. Have had to cancel all of my unpaid gigs. I am very sad about this, but see it as an opportunity to get some money behimd me now and buy another guitar. I’ll be mostly seen behind the bar at the Nags Head in Malvern til August now. I am still doing a lot of gigs but the tour isn’t as full as I was hoping it would be. Oh Rock and roll is dragging me where I don’t know and you can’t see..... (Wishbone Ash)
Love
Matt

James and I are pleased to announce the Arrival of Gary Cutis on bass, he recently came into the fold at a whopping 22 stone!
We look foward to the dimentions his playing will bring to my songs and hope he can make as many gigs with us as possible, although he is getting on a bit!!

For You
5th October 2007
Malvern musicians Matt Woosey and James Elliot-Williams have teamed up to work on a new music project “Matt Woosey and the Strange Rain”. After playing an impromptu set at The Lamb Inn as apart of West Fest back in August and fuelled by the reaction from the crowd coupled with the buzz the two got from the performance led them into discussing the formation of this new project.
Demo work has already begun on an album which will be based around Matt’s acoustic based songs, augmented by James’ percussion and drum playing. The recorded works will also feature special guest appearances from friends of the band. The album is scheduled to be finished by January and will be followed by extensive live work to promote the release. To join the mailing list and to be kept in contact with the latest news send an e-mail to: mattwooseyandthestrangerain@hotmail.co.uk
The duo will be doing a few gigs to play in the material, including a performance on Sunday 14th October at Worcester’s, The Marr’s Bar. Tickets are available from the band or on the door, anyone interested please e-mail: drumluv@hotmail.com to reserve your tickets.
