Let me give you some background... Our next gig was set to be at the end of July (The Rock Garden). Our set had been stripped and was being reworked, a few new tracks were being introduced and basically we were in no condition to play! But being the brave-hearted souls we are...

The gig was a success - we've been invited back after the summer.

If you were there, you heard Coming Home, Wide Tonight, Velvet Breeze, Just Dreams, A Light That Fades, You, Cult, SinnerSaint, She's Gone. A couple of tracks dropped from the last gig to make room for You and She's Gone and the restructured Cult. Thanks to those who made it, it was a great turn-out for such short notice. Special thanks to Anthony, Darren and Clare for helping to make it a success.

The next gig (barring any unexpected last-minute bookings!) is at The Rock Garden on July 29th , and then we'll be in Cornwall for the mini-tour (see gigs page for more info). We need a strong show of support if we want to be rebooked and expect you there. Doctor's Certificates will be accepted - but nothing else!

Other news in this week... The Beckett make the Top 30 Down Under!! That's right, the Australian music site mp3.com rates A Light That Fades at number 30 based on downloads and listener ratings. Don't forget that you can download this track as well as Wide Tonight and Velvet Breeze from www.mp3.com/thebeckett - there will be some live tracks posted here soon!

Well, it's been a busy month and we've got a gig to prepare for! See you at the Rock Garden.

The Beckett are David Prestwich, Emlyn Hall, George Georgiou, Mark Brimson and Mark Wardle. This has been a Sunday Session Production.
