Back to the grind after a fabulous long weekend away with the band in London. The sun shone strong and bright, and we were pure roastin the whole time, but it was a welcome change after a very rainy and depression non-summer here in Northern Ireland!
Each of the gigs were really different, all with a brilliant atmosphere and response from the crowds. Sutton was relaxing, a nice way for us to start off, Green Note was buzzing, electric and intimate, and The Prince Albert was really fun and a great way to wind down the weekend.
Big thank you goes out to Sam Thomas who supported us at Sutton, and Emma Pears who supported us at the Green Note in Camden on Sunday night. She powered through the pain of slicing her finger open just 15 mins before going on to play the keys. Big thank you's also go out to Estelle for housing us and being our tour bus driver, to-ing and fro-ing gear to venues, and generally putting up with our banter.
We loved being in London, and hopefully it won't be long before we are back again.
If you were there, I really appreciate you coming. If not, we hope to catch you at the next one.
Check back for pics of the tour on the myspace or facebook site.

I'm terrible at this.
You'll have to forgive me. Time has trickled away and life has an agenda of it's own...to cut a long, excuse-filled story short - I'm forgetful.
Here's a briefing of some of the latest melwigginsmusic news:
* Lots of fun gigs over the summer - highlights include beautiful sing-alongs and good fun at Summer Madness Festival, the beautiful and quirky barnyard gig at The Forfey Festival.
* Gearing up for some banter on the mainland with a couple of gigs and radio interviews in London this coming weekend! Tickets still available (only just!) for the Green Note gig on the 23rd of August - click here to get em!
* Lovely cheeky times with Gerry Anderson, live session and interview at BBC Radio Ulster.
* Planning my first ever single release!!! - 'Heart As Your Home' - revamped and jigged up, coming to a wireless near you soon! Release date TBA.
* Having 'Simplified' included on the brand spankin' new EP for our new friends The Fifty Penny March! Their beautiful little compilation CD is available here!
There are a few more exciting tales to tell, but the powers at be have warned me to keep my lips sealed for the meantime...but I promise you, it'll be worth the wait.
Hope to see you London side, please keep checking the website or myspace for all the up-coming dates! And the EP is still available here, here and here!
Again, thank you for supporting me in this little adventure,
