Hi folks. Hope yer all enjoying the wet summer...
Some more bad news.
The Harcourt is getting a refurb, much needed in my opinion, but it will take place early September, which means no Hipshakin' on the 2nd, our 11th anniversary 😭
There is a chance we could do the 16th September, but that is sketchy.
Kate Macklow I'm sorry but we may have to cancel...
Everyone booked for October on, still stands.
It never fu***ng ends does it...
Sorry, and let's hope we can work around this.

Ok here's the thing. I've not been out much and probably won't be for a while.
The reason is I had to have emergency surgery 2 weeks ago and may be in recovery for months.
Without going into too much detail I had an abcess which required incision and drainage, leaving an open wound in a very uncomfortable place.
Good news is recovery is going well, and I've been venturing out to get supplies etc, but these trips leave me wasted, and sore. I don't know how I'd have coped without Naomi Pine, my angel...
So, apologies for not getting out much! See you soon...

Here's our grrl Lil' Jamie Mykaela in her debut warm up set at Hipshakin' May 2023! And what a fine job she did!
She'll be back....
