Gig Details: Live Wire, Sheffield 07/04

Full details for the Sheffield Student Union gig next Thursday have been announced. The gig is free entry and open to non-students, 18+. Doors are at 10, the band will be on at about 10:30, followed by Sheffield locals Two Skies and then an indie club night to see you through to the wee hours.

Get yourselves down to the Raynor Lounge (by Bar One) and give the new bassist a big welcome, enjoy some reasonably priced booze and have a good old fashioned boogie.

New Gig Dates

We have some gigs booked around Yorkshire for the next month or so.
If you're able, get your tickets and get down! If you're not able, rearrange your plans and come anyway! These will be the first gigs with new bassist Will Groves.

A Change of Bass

After appreciable consideration Dan Curtis has decided to leave The Ridings, due to other commitments leading to a lack of time. Will Groves, formerly of The Antix, has stepped in to take his place. Plans for the remainder of the year are, on the whole, unaffected and we still aim to release an EP over the coming months.

We're currently working on some new tunes and rehearsing the old ones for a few gigs we have lined up over the next few weeks, details to follow. Come down to one and give Will a warm welcome!

Apologies for the Delay

One or two concerns both inside and outside of the band have kept us too busy recently to be able to write up a blog post. Needless to say we seem to be coming out of the other side of the tunnel now, and hopefully it wont be too long before we can share a few more details about what's been going on, and what we're planning on for the not too distant future.

Expect a few new gig dates to be announced, some recent news and insight, and some erudition on some new tunes on their way. Our year plans have changed slightly but you can still expect a new EP, that's not far off, we just want to fine tune it a little more.
Thank you for your patience

The Ridings
