Hello and thank you for tuning into another update from CRUSH UK, Weller & ‘KatZ
CRUSH UK will be flying out to Oregon later this month and we are really excited about our fourth trip to the West coast.
No doubt we will go on about it ad nauseam when we return, so let’s just say we are looking forward to the shows; hooking up with old friends and making new ones.
In the meantime, there is plenty of activity in the South West, so we hope you can get along to a show or two…..

· Bay FM
After another successful stint, Bay FM 107.9 including Weller will be back on the airwaves and internet in October 2008.
The drive to attain a full time licence through local support and feedback is gathering pace so 107.9 FM and www.bayfm.co.uk could well be on air 24/7 before too long.
It was a joy to host the gig guide this May and my guests were excellent. I will be inviting more local musicians to play live in the studio, promoting live music and generally talking about how to make a career in the business of music.
The lovely Bing has joined CRUSH UK on stage recently. A long time coming, it is a pleasure to enjoy the vocal talents that until now have only been on show at the Christmas carol events. Bing’s current specialities are ‘These boots are made for walkin’ and ‘Rawhide’ with backing vocals on some other corkers. We look forward to more input over time.
· The ‘KatZ
Our shows are going great and we love playing new additions to our set. It feels fresh and exciting and we are grateful to everyone who shows up to support us.
· Clarefest, Sunday 22nd June 2008 – The best yet??
What a day! There were concerns about the weather, but the day was dry and warm and the performers outstanding.
There was standing room only, [so maybe a new venue is needed in future?], but the atmosphere was amazing - a real family event.
Over £2000 was raised for cancer charities: Macmillan, Hospiscare and 'Force'.
Last on stage was CRUSH UK who were joined by Bing, Sara, Radar and Nick Thorman. Once again we were staggered by the response during and after the show. Clarefest really is a highlight of our schedule.
This was the 9th annual event that celebrates the life of Lympstone's Clare Millington and those of us lucky enough to have survived cancer.
First rate performances came from: The Slapheads, Mako, Eat the rich, Dawn Chapman, Free Spirit, The Exmouth Shantymen, Goldrush, Joyce Gang, Kate Hathaway, Paul Downes, ending up with CRUSH UK as the sun was going down. Perfect!
All we needed was the sun to shine, the rest was taken care of by the real stars of Lympstone Village: Vivienne, Dave, Paul, Debbie, Terry and everyone who lent a hand.
Roll on Clarefest 2009 :)
· Where’s the new talent?
We publish details of all sorts of shows at http://www.eboards4all.com/066344/
These include: folk clubs and open mic nights.
We recommend the ‘Acoustic Café’ hosted at the Black Horse, Sidmouth www.theacousticcafe.co.uk
· Downloads
'Mystery' is our second single lifted from 'Quiddity'.
For a meagre financial outlay you get a cracking original from CRUSH UK and a cover of CRUSH UK’s version of Brain Protheroe’s 'Pinball' and Dave Dudley’s ‘Je ne sais pas’ into the bargain.
The songs are hosted at www.crushuk.com with links through to our store.

· Having a Party?
We are always delighted to receive requests to play weddings and birthday parties.
We are also up for playing in your front/sitting/drawing rooms, garden, gazebo, grotto, marquee, wherever. We love a challenge; so do get in touch if you want a class act at your bash.
We play smoking or non-smoking venues for folks who are doing it for themselves at home.
Don't worry about volume cos we can keep it right down, or play acoustically [or not].
