We are fortunate enough to work with some brilliant venues, but it's amazing just how often you get someone trying to take the P like this.

Good evening, Skunksters!

Greetings, Skunksters!

Time for a quick update from Fusty's den.

Guitarist auditions are under way. We have done two so far, with more to come next week and the week after.

The plan is that once our new guitarist is in place, we will do a couple of open mics to get used to performing together in the live environment, before we return to playing full gigs.

We will keep you updated via this page. In the meantime, once we have scheduled the open mics, we would really appreciate some support, so please come along if you can. Besides, you'll be one of the first to get to check out the new line-up!

Andy.

Hello, all you lovely Skunksters!

Unfortunately, we will not now be playing the Black Star in Stourport on 27 January.

This is due to our current search for a new guitarist. We want to ensure that we get the ideal person in, so we will not rush into a decision.

We still have two more dates at the Black Star later in 2024 and can't wait to play there once the new line-up is in place.

Regarding a new guitarist, auditions are under way and we hope to have some news for you soon.

Andy.

Good evening, everyone.

We are sorry to inform you that we have parted company with Rob, who has been our guitarist since August 2022.

This decision has not been made lightly, and was very difficult as we all really like Rob.

However, Adam, Emma and I feel this is the best move for the band, going forward.

We would like to thank Rob for his efforts during his time with us, and wish him well for the future.

Andy.

Wishing a very Happy 21st Birthday to our occasional roadie and sound engineer, and Adam's son, Evan Mancrief.

Good evening, Skunksters!

We played our last gig of 2023 last night at Voodoo Blue Lounge in Brierley Hill.

Although we had some sound issues, we had a good response from an audience which while not huge in numbers, made up for that with enthusiasm and encouragement.

Thank you if you were there, we really appreciate your support.

VBL has only been open for two weeks, but is a real gem of a place to play.

The owner and his staff are really nice, very obliging and helpful, which is not the case at some venues.

They already have loads of bands booked, including a return for us in September 2024, and have organised an open mic every Wednesday evening.

If you live nearby, or just fancy a night out somewhere new, please get down there.

KS will see you in the New Year!

Andy.

Back to rehearsals tonight after a three week break, and our prize draw winner Chris is finally coming along to listen to us.

Let's hope we're not too rusty! πŸ™‚

Hi all.

Hope you're well.

It's busy in the Skunks' den at the moment, with rehearsing and plotting our first "Friends & Families" gig (more news on that soon, hopefully).

Meanwhile, we have a little task for you. We would like you all to name a band or solo artist (just one!) that have not achieved major stardom and success, but that you really rate and would recommend to others.

Please give your recommendations by replying to this post.

Thanks!
