This is the year that will see The Beckett play even greater gigs, to even more people and to even more praise. Expect to see us playing at universities and venues across the country, expect radio play, and expect gig reviews in the national music press. These aren't just far-out predictions; all these things are in the pipeline for the next twelve months. So now you know why we've seemed so quiet recently!!

The Beckett's next performance is at The Half Moon in Putney, a venue famous for hosting The Rolling Stones, The Who, U2, Van Morrison and Elvis Costello, as well as more recently My Vitriol, Symposium, Squeeze and Marti Pellow and soon The Beckett.

NEW CD
: anticipated completion : march 2002

We've been working hard on our new 'core' set over the past few months, making changes to the songs previewed at the Rock Garden in November as well as to the rest of the set. We'll be in the studio in the next few weeks to work on a new CD available in March.
