17th - Well, that's it for this year. Big thanks to everyone who come along to see us.
The 2013 diary is filling up quite nicely, so check out the gigs page for where we will be next year.
16th - The last gig of the year was in a new venue - the Tap & Barrel. As always there was the game of fitting everything in but we managed it and a good time was had by the band. Our thanks to Mike and staff for making us welcome. This was Simon's second gig and it went very well, he's settled in great.
9th - We were back to the Railway and this time no equipment issues. It was Simon's first foray as lead vox and everything seemed to run to plan. Thank you to Colin and staff for making us welcome and everyone who popped along to see us.
The next gig is at the Tap and Barrel in Bedminster, which is a new venue for us. So the game of "What fits Where" will no doubtbly be played.

23rd - Since Simon joined the band, we have been fairly busy during rehearsals to get everything in place for our foray at the Railway in Radstock. The majority of the selected numbers have been finalised and are now being run through. Its all looking good.
On the gig front for 2013. We are now close to our normal yearly allocation of 2 gigs per month and have a few dates left, which should be allocated soon. If there any venues out there that would like us to play, it may be an idea to contact us as soon as possible.

28th - Back at the Reckless Engineer for Halloween, and what a sight! All manner of costumes made an appearance for a packed pub and a brilliant night. The band agreed it was one of the highlight gigs so far and a fitting departing gig for Ant. A huge thanks for everyone coming along and good luck to Ant for the future.
15th - After numerous auditions for the vocalist position, due to Ant departing, the band has made the decision that sees Simon Withers accepting the position. Simon is in the process of getting married, our congratulations to him, and this precludes him from accepting the role immediately. So for the Halloween gig at the Reckless Engineer, Mr Meade will be doing it as his bow out gig. Come along and wish him well.

20th - We are also looking to 2013 and bookings. If any venues would like us to play for them, please use the details in the CONTACTS page.
17th - Unfortunatly due to work comitments Ant is having to leave the band. This is after a lot of work has been done bringing him up to speed on new and old numbers. Can't be helped and we all wish him the best. So if anyone out there thinks thinks they can take up the vocalists mantle and fill his shoes please use the details in the CONTACTS page
9th - A return to the Trout in Keynsham saw a rake of new numbers go into the set. As usual a thank you to Jim and Jackie for making us welcome and thanks to everyone who came and saw us.

8th - Due to be a double booking at the Anchor in Warminster, they have had to cancel our gig. We hope to rearranged this shortly and the dates will be posted in the GIGS page. Our apologies to persons that were coming to see us.

29th - Another gig, another new venue. Last night saw Trowbridge's Rising Sun enjoy the sounds of Hush. Playing in what seemed to be a living room was snug but a great time was had by the band. We will hopefully be back soon.
17th - It is with heavy hearts that we have learnt Jon Lord the co-founder of Deep Purple passed away on Monday 16th July. Jon Lord had been suffering from cancer, but even up until his untimely death was still actively involved in music. He was a major influence on not only rock, haven co-writting a lot of Deep Purples music, but also over the last decade writting major classical works. Our own Jon cites him as one of his major influences and this legend will be sorely missed. Our condolences go to his family and friends. More on Jon Lord 's life can be found on his dedicated website http://jonlord.org. The Lord is in heaven.

26th - We have just found out that the Devon tour (one date only) to Wattsfest at Ulffculme, near Tiverton has been cancelled. Very dissappointing, but we may have another go next year.
10th - Saturday evening saw us back in Weston Super Mare at Scallys. Strange how you can go to a venue and its changed virtually overnight, this time not the pub, but the building site next door, but al,the staff helped in getting us loaded and unloaded in a very tight parking area. Our thanks to everyone who came and we will see you all soon.

9th - The elves have been out in force meaning an update has only just happened. :-)
On Saturday regular Hush haunt, the Trout in Keynsham, was as lively has usual with a good atmosphere and good reception to a couple of new songs. It was good to see all those who came along especially to listen/watch/dance with us.

30th - As posted earlier, we have been invited to play at a modest festival in Devon - Wattsfest. We are rather excited about and it looks as though the festival is gaining momentum. Details can be found on the gig page.
29th - The website has been rather quiet due to the huge amount of work we've been putting in to get some new songs into the set. A return to the Reckless Engineer last night saw a couple of new songs in the set with good reaction to both.
Despite a quiet start things got busier as the evening went on, so thanks to all those of you who came along to see us.
17th - Unfortunatly, the Sisterhood bike rally on Saturday the 19th May has had to be cancelled.
We have been offered a gig at Wattsfest at Ullfculme, Devon on the 30th June. Further details will appear as we receive them.

6th - Dave's first gig at the Railway in Radstock was wrought with technical problems with the PA. Thankfully the venue were able to provide a replacement.
Despite those issues the rest of the gig went well and Dave did a grand job.
Huge thanks goes to everyone who stuck with us during the technical problems.

4th - Courtesy noun; "a courteous, respectful, or considerate act or expression."
Something the new owners of The Parkway obviously don't have. The band turned up to the pub tonight expecting to play but were told that the new owners have cancelled all live music. Letting all booked bands know the state of affairs would have been the courteous thing to do, but no, they don't do such things.

1st - First off this year we would like to welcome into the shoes of Hush guitarist Dave Thorne.
We've had a couple of rehearsals so far and all is going well. After a short break for Christmas we will be back rehearsing hard for the first gig of the year in February.
