March appears to be a cursed month for BOC . . .

We turned up at The Roaring Donkey (Holland-on-sea) last night only to be told they were not aware of the gig . . . despite the fact that it was them who contacted us to make a booking in the first place! Apologies to anyone who made the journey to come and see us . . . we felt your pain! Another venue to avoid!

All 2011 gigs at The Shoulder of Mutton have been cancelled by the venue after they “heard a rumour that we had split up”! They offered to re-book us . . . for a fee lower than the agreed one of course. Tut tut!

Also The Limes in Needham Market is closing, so unfortunately has had to cancel our upcoming gig!

IMPORTANT . . . We will always try and keep you updated of any last minute changes via this site, but occasionally it is not possible - for the most up-to-date info check out our Facebook page.

Finally . . . on a more positive note, The Bay Horse has taken advantage of our new found availability, and will be the setting for our next outing on Friday 18th March.

28-01-11
Paul and Kris have added a new track 'Dream On' to their Myspace site - click here to hear this and some more of their original material!
