On Thursday & Friday nights, the band ended their year with a pair of back to back headline shows in Southampton & Brighton. There was a great turnout for both shows and the band were on fire, finishing 2023 on a real high!

They played 20 shows this year including the somewhat delayed 11 date Together UK tour which culminated, fittingly, with a sold out Guildford show on Dave’s 70th birthday. Next up was a visit to the US for the Cruel World festival in Pasadena in May & then back to Rebellion festival in Blackpool in August. The year finished with a series of headline shows, mostly in the south. There are plans to play northern shows next year hopefully… (any northern promoters please get in touch)

So, with 2023 done, the new year is just around the corner. There are 4 gigs already in the diary, starting with the 100 Club on 5th Jan and a welcome return to the wonderful Portmeirion at the start of March for a weekend of gigs & events.
Thanks to everyone who has come to a show this year, bought merch, downloaded the band’s music or even bought physical formats. It’s been another great year, see you in 2024 on the Vapor trail…cheers!
