Gig calendar

I've been a bit quiet on the blog of late as, being band webmonkey, I've been busy revamping the gig listings on the website.

Ignoring the behind-the-scenes stuff, we now have links to Google maps for each venue, and an Upcoming gigs calendar - subscribe for notification of our next gigs directly into your calendar program (if it supports iCal).

There's more stuff possible, but that'll have to wait as we're starting to write some new songs to follow the album :-)

Witches in London and Oxford

We'll be returning to the wonderful Windmill in Brixton on Friday 15th February playing alongside Danny and the Champions of the World and many others. There's a cheese auction too. It's Valentine's weekend so we're going to be extra romantic :)

We'll be back on home turf the day after, headlining Big Hair @ The Cellar on Saturday 16th February, with excellent support from Brother Francisco, All Our Good Friends and Cat Matador. This will be our biggest headline to date, so keep some space in your diaries!

Equitruck and Beard Museum

Happy new year from Witches! We're looking forward to playing some cracking gigs this year, starting with Equitruck, an all-day event held at the Jericho Tavern on Saturday 12th January 2008 from 1pm. A whole load of excellent bands are playing - for full listings visit their Myspace.

Following on from this, we'll be playing our debut gig for the Beard Museum at the Purple Turtle on Sunday 27th January 2008. Well done to the Beard Museum boys for booking excellent support from the likes of Semaphore - those who like Witches will like these guys too. Also playing are Sam Beer and Liam Ing-Reeves.

This is going to be an exciting year for Witches - we're starting to play more regularly in London in advance of the release of our debut single later this year, and we'll be writing and recording a new album throughout the course of 2008, to be released next year. This will mean lots of new songs at Witches gigs in Oxford and beyond. See you all soon!
