Thanks @Raymondo for the heads up! Pleasure to catch up with you at The Prince Albert on Fri night, really enjoyed playing our set Thanks for par-taking in the purchase of the new album too- hope you enjoyed it! @TeebsBrilliant- looking forward to meeting you at the Blues Challenge, it's a bit nerve wracking, but we're really enthused to be asked to play, especially since we're really on the fringes of the "blues" genre. In any case, we're well chuffed!

That’s very true just leave it to the drummer to steal all the thunder!!

I kinda wanna ask what SWMBO stands for... But I'm not sure I should! Yes you too mate, we can have a proper bass geek out while the others aren't looking haha.

@TeebsI think it'll be an evening do- haven't got proper times yet but will likely be announced shortly. @Raymondo has become the un-official Achievers mascott. Let's just say it wasn't a surprise to see him nursing five pints of Guiness when we arrived at a pub in Dover not so long ago! Hope you got back safe Ray! Love the Wotton-Under-Edge fest- it's a great weekend, and super local for us too :)

Thanks for the kind words @Raymondo! Haha don't worry your secret is safe with me! Thanks @skankdelvar - we will try our very best :D

Blatant self-plug but our band "The Achievers" have been chosen as a finalist in the UK BLUES CHALLENGE Whoop, etc! It's essentially an audition - with an emphasis on originality. Whoever does the right set on the night will go on to represent the UK in the European Blues Challenge (Netherlands 🇳🇱) and International Blues Challenge (Memphis, Tennessee 🇺🇸). We're excited. And encouraged! Gig is at the Bluefunk Club, Poynton (Stockport) Cheshire, on the 14th Sept. 2019. EDIT: Typo in title changed. Oops!

Great to see you at the SVA Ray, and really looking forward to catching up at York! We're staying locally too, so will be defo around for a few jars afterwards. Word on the street is it's gonna be a proper party! Thanks for your support too, really means a lot to us that people are prepared to travel to see the band, it's very much appreciated :)

+1 on that. Great weekend had by us all too! Managed to catch a few acts on the introducing stage and at Jaks- some real corkers. Hopefully return next year! Jack

Hi Raymondo, That's great news, looking forward to catching up at Stroud and York! We're well excited about Stroud (mostly as it's a hometown show and we can have a good drink afterwards!). And of course York is a beautiful country. No worries about Skeggy- understand it's quite a comittment just to see one band! Catch you soon! Jack

That's great news @Mykesbass ! Hope you have a great time. I'll be at the festival too with my band The Achievers at Jak's stage on the Sat. eve. Really looking forward to it! Jack

Thanks @Witters we had an absolutley marvellous time yesterday. Thanks for the pint @Raymondoand thanks for the good review of the album! Couldnt' stick around afterwards as we had to get back, but a great time was had by all. Fingers crossed we'll be back again next year! Jack

You're too kind mate!

@Raymondo that's cool! However, you won't have bought me a pint, as I only joined the band a few monthd ago. However, do feel free to extend the same kindness this year!

YES! I am playing with my band The Achievers on the Sunday @ The Star Inn at around 5.45pm. Link to band here: http://www.theachieversuk.com/ Up-beat R&B to inspire even the most casual of dancers :) Jack
