Crikey, we didn't expect that! Thanks very much to Jack.fm, 107.9fm, SAE, Wychwood Music Festival and Oxfordshire Music Scene for announcing us the winners of the Next Big Thing competition. We've won a £2,000 recording contract with SAE and a slot at Wychwood Festival, as well as further airplay through Jack.fm. From someone who never wins anything, thank you all very much!

Next Witches gig - 100 free tickets available on the door
Yo!
As previously mentioned, Witches are one of five finalists at the Jack.FM Next Big Thing competition.
If you want to go, you can - they'll have 100 free, gratis tickets on the door Wednesday 29th April: O2 Academy Oxford.
Should be an interesting experience, as all the finalists have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm curious to see how this sort of thing works...
Anyway, it's on 6:30-10pm - early enough for a school night - so get down there tomorrow!
Laters,
Dave.
PS. With a bit of luck we might have some nice new merch as well :-)

Witches through to Jack.fm top 5!
Following on from Tom Robinson playing B O K on 6 Music Introducing on Monday, Jack.fm have announced that our song Expansion (another track penned for our second album) has pushed Witches into the top 5 of their Next Big Thing competition. Apparently 130 bands entered, of which 20 bands recorded a song at SAE Oxford. We'll be playing alongside the other four finalists at the O2 Academy in the near future - watch this space. Thanks Jack!

Second play on Tom Robinson Introducing
It's been an exciting weekend since we recently had our second play on Tom Robinson's Introducing show on 6 Music.
A year ago, Tom played Josef's Lament from the Heart of Stone LP, and last night (13th April) he played B O K, a track planned for our forthcoming second album.
Tom said it sounded Like Hawkwind meets Spacemen 3 in an underground cavern once inhabited by The Velvet Underground. That works for us! Go check out the track on our Myspace site and tell us what you think.
Many thanks Tom for helping to spread the word.
Our friends From Light To Sound were also featured, so an excellent show all round!
