Green Diesel

Next Saturday is your last chance to see us live for some time! We're returning to Ramsgate Music Hall sharing the bill with the wonderful Large Plants who are touring in support of their brilliant new album 'The Thorn'. Should be a perfect remedy for the January blues. A shot of psychedelia for the winter.

Belated New Year greetings! 2024 shall be a different one for us... Certain Diesel families are shortly to be increasing in numbers.

More to follow... In the meantime please find attached a by no means complete list of some sounds that have caught our ears in the last twelvemonth. Might help you spend those Christmas record tokens...

A brief selection of Bryan Taylor's wonderful shots from last night's show. Thank you to everyone for coming - lovely to catch up with old friends Seafoxes and meet new friends Fire In Her Eyes . Have an excellent Christmas everyone - see you next year.

Friday's show is now officially sold out! Thank you for your support.

ALERT - there are only 10 'entrance passes' (trying to ward off spambots - you know what we mean) left for Friday's show with Seafoxes and Fire In Her Eyes at 20th Century Speedway on Friday. If you wanted to come then please buy quickly! It's unlikely we'll have any left.on the door.

So sad to hear of the passing of Steeleye Span legend Bob Johnson. His epic traditional arrangements have been such an influence on how we approach our music. This is one of my favourites. RIP Bob.

And now Fire In Her Eyes

Formed in 2016, Fire In Her Eyes have known both sunkissed triumph and desperate hardship on the road to their forthcoming debut album We Are Fire. Session players come and go, but the core of the lineup is bonded by blood, with 24-year-old Daniella Livingstone (Topaz), (piano/guitar/flute/sitar/vocals) and 21-year-old sister Natasha Livingstone (bass/ keys/percussion/vocals) bonding a rare synergy from the age of two.

“We were very quirky,” recalls the younger sister. “Me and Daniella started making music together from about two years old. We’d do shows in the lounge for our family, playing jazz and Motown songs, and the harmonies just came naturally. We barely fight and when we do, it’s probably harmony related.”

As the time draws nearer let's tell you about our guests for the Solstice show at 20th Century Speedway in Folkestone. Firstly Seafoxes :

Old friends going back to drunken nights in Edinburgh many moons ago, Seafoxes are an indie/dream pop band based in South East London. They create atmospheric music filled with beautiful melodies and delicate vocal harmonies. Their music is a captivating exploration of a world beyond our own, the imagery of the stars and the enigmatic sounds of the universe.

This is Pat (and Jess). To ensure Pat's van is nice and full this month why not head over to our Bandcamp page to browse our range of albums and merchandise. Special bonus - should you happen to purchase today Bandcamp waive their fees and we keep the full value of your purchase. Might help with certain studio time we have next year... 🤫)
