Very pleased to say that these are available for pre-order right now on the Abdou page of the CarterStore. 

The shirts come Black and a rather fetching Burgundy.

I'm still smiling after last week's shows in Northampton and Equinox Festival. We had such a lovely time even when the skies opened up at Equinox and we got thoroughly soaked. Thanks to Paul for organising the Stalkers Studio 15th…

Very pleased to announce this one. We have been trying to sort out a London gig and include our great mates Headsticks on the bill. This is it. Tickets are already available, see the tour section below for more details.

We have just finished our spring tour and although a couple of the gigs were (shall we say, undersubscribed), I count it as a great success. we got out there and played to a lot of people, spreading the word…

Less than three weeks to go before we load up the van and start our Spring tour. This will be our only tour this year. There will be the odd festival date and maybe something a bit special in the…

Even though our 2024 dates aren't done with, we are already booked for a Spring Sprint in March 2025.

This year has been excellent for us, I think we are playing better than ever before. Richy, Bom and Jon are…

It has been ages since the full band has played Colchester, although Richy and I did a duo gig supporting Nick Park a while ago. Great venue, great sound, great beer, the best band. All we need is you, dear…

Next up for us is a fab all-dayer up in Stoke On Trent (well it's up for me). It's a great line-up including Jess Silk and our mates Headsticks as curators and headliners. Check out the poster, it's gonna be…

Very sad that we have had to cancel our appearance at this year's Equinox Festival, due to logistic cock ups on our part.

Hopefully we will be able to return next year as it is a fantastic festie and we…

Hello, I'm sitting here in my shorts, windows open, listening to the birds and general summery sounds of Folkestone. It has been a long time coming but summer is here. Apart from doing a lot of gardening, my thoughts are…

Richy and I had a marvellous time opening for the massive talent that is Nick Parker last night. Three Wise Monkeys is a great venue, I really hope we can go back there soon. Nick was fab, the audience were…
