Your Dinner On A Plate
It has been a busy past few weeks for us. Lots of rehearsals in
anticipation for gigs at Edinburgh's Jazz Bar and Manchester's hip haunt Matt &
Phreds, and lots of mental preparation for the van journey together. Conversation topics were scraping the ground beneath the barrel
from the get-go, but both nights were a resounding success and we got some suberb fashion
tips from Gok Wan on the radio on the way to Manchester.
A welcome offshoot of having to play long sets and intensive rehearsing means that we are one step closer
to recording our next album. January, look out.

Post Edinburgh Festival Blues
We had a fantastic time last night performing at the Bosco Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues
Festival 2011. If only every night could be spent with such great people in a buzzing atmosphere like it was. We
want to say a big thank you to Haftor Medboe for
the opportunity, and Pete Furniss (happy birthday!) for sharing the stage with us
for two tunes. Hopefully Pete will be guesting with us again in the near future, and there is talk of him
appearing on our upcoming album so watch this space.
In other news, you may or may not have noticed that the website has a new look, and there is new
ear and eye candy on each page so get exploring in haste!
P.S Thanks to BondBloke for the above photo!

sometime in the near future; The Discordian Trio in HD like you have never seen us before.
Last but not least, a massive happy birthday goes out to Craig. Craig also shares his birthday with

Jazz On 3 + New Photos
This Monday evening (16th May) Jazz On 3 (BBC Radio 3) will be playing some live recordings
from our recent appearance at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival. It will be available on iplayer for
the remainder of the week if you miss it.
We also got some new photos taken this week by the wonderful Edi Pyczek (check out more of her work

get some quality photographs of ourselves for a while now, and where better to get these done than an
urban farm in the middle of one of Edinburgh's least desirable areas. They can be found on
the media page soon!
