Busy week!

It's been really busy for the four Jelly's recently. Last Sunday we had the second Jelly's clubnight, Memory Loss, at Matt and Phreds. For this we got our old friends The Uncomfortables and new friends King Kayak to play with us, and it was a great night; not quite as busy as the first but we still had a belting atmosphere! Here's the video diary:



The next one is on October 30th, and will feature The Loungs and Nice Peter. Do not miss it, I've a feeling it's going to be quite a busy do! tickets will be on sale very shortly.

We've been in The Jaraf House recording studio all week, putting two tracks down with a tentative release date of February 2009. Wednesday we recorded the drums and guide tracks, and Thursday was spent recording bass guitar and vocals. On Friday we took the recording gear to Matt and Phreds to record the grand piano parts for the tracks. They sound immense.

Whilst we were in town, we nipped to Jeffrey West shoe shop to choose our shoes (see the previous blog entry / video diary). I got these bad boys:


They're the most comfortables shoes I've ever worn! (and I'm not contractually obliged to say that...)

On Saturday we had an afternoon gig at Preston's Flag Market, for the launch of Preston FM, the community radio station. It was cold and wet, but we still managed to stop a few Saturday afternoon shoppers who watched our set! This gig was a lot better than we thought, and a lot better than it looks on this video diary:



Sunday we were back in the studio working on the tracks, which we're going to finish sometime in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait to get them finished and out there!

I'll put together a video diary of our studio experiences in the next week or so.

In the meantime we're all about Memory Loss, the next one's going to be ace and I urge you all to get tickets!

Andy.
