From Great Height - December 2007 to October 2011

Hello all,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the end of 'From Great Height'. After much discussion and deliberation we have decided that we have taken FGH, creatively, as far as we can and it is probably better to bow out gracefully now as opposed to sticking blindly to something we don't 100% believe in. It wouldn't fool anyone let alone fans who have followed us these past 4-5 years.

I won't go on too much, but in short, we have had a fantastic time. Whilst we perhaps didn't set the world on fire we have been knocking flint together for a while and enjoyed every second of it. We have achieved many of our personal goals and feel grateful for, and appreciate every single person who ever came to see us, listened to us, told someone about us. Real music is art not product and if you can make even just one person understand and connect with you, then you have won and it was all worth while. That many of you over the years have showed us continued support and put your belief in us is overwhelming and humbling indeed. So thank you.

I would also just like to say a few thank you's from the band to people who have helped and supported us along the way. No band can do it alone and underground music relies on a support network of music lovers who do it not for money but for kicks.

We want to thank Jenn Selby for giving us our first national press via Terrorizer. Thanks to Stu Tovell for showing us great support and supplying us with his vast knowledge. It was invaluable to a band like us just starting out. Thank you also to Ross Tovell, Andy Hall, Cherie Collins, Melissa Atkin, Lydia Martin, Sarah Squires, Rich Miller, Chris Reeves. Jake Slisz & Jason Blackford (and the house of blackfrost), Lea (Dark Violetta) and all the people who came to our shows and regularly paid their way in and supported the local scene and spread the music around (Sorry, i know i have missed out many people here. But thank you to everyone who came out to see us). Thank you to Derrick Wess, and his tireless work taking pictures that make us look much cooler than we really are. Thank you to Mark Seibert and 9blind, Dmonic (RIP), Syn X, Jack Cooney and Follly, Hal Sinden and the boys in Talanas, Beth Sinden, the boys in Talk Show Hosts, Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster, and all the bands we have ever played with and supported. Kunal Singhal over at Chaos Theory (One of the best independent promotions in London). Thank you to Jon and George at The Peel for making us feel so welcome time and again. All your help has been immeasurable and we can't thank you enough. A special thanks to Gary Boast our first drummer who helped get us off the ground in the early days and to Nick Beere at Mooncalf for being so patient in helping us record our first two EP's. Thank you to all the people at totalrock.com Malcolm Dome, Tina Saul & Sara Harding (been following TR since i was 16 and to get to be involved in some form was just a life dream realised). Thank you to everyone at Classic Rock: Presents Prog, Jerry Ewing and Holly Wright for all your help and advice, reviews etc... we will never forget that.

There are so many more people we should thank, friends and family who supported us throughout and i could write a list three pages long. So we will just say thank you to everyone for making FGH such a big part of our lives and for making it fun since day one.

As one journey ends, another begins.

We will still continue to write music. If you are a fan of From Great Height you can still follow it's members and their music.

Tim can be found creating some of the UK's finest Dubstep. With well over 7000 listens on his remix of DJ Fresh's 'Louder' and over 40,000 views on YouTube you would be a fool not to watch him with both eyes as closely as possible. Big things lay ahead for him. Head on over to his soundcloud page for more!

Adam & Michael the greatest partnership since Tuna Fish and Jelly have already begun work on a new EP for their new project titled 'Five Points Of Articulation'. Whilst probably the closest thing to FGH of all the side projects, do not be fooled. FGH this is not. Expect a dark electronic edge and a glaring simplicity that makes for a moody, darkened, heavy, post-industrial sound. If you can imagine NIN wrestling with Depeche Mode and Mogwai then you are half way there.

Tim Storey: Between The Divide (Preview)

***Quick Update***

Hey guys, going to go a little bit quiet for a while as Tim has injured his foot (send him some love).

When we return we will be starting to record the next EP. I know i keep saying that but it was actually booked in for next week (that was until Tim had his legs bitten by a sharkodile whilst holidaying in Clacton). So we will return in September with a show in Camden and more details of our EP release!

Stay classy people.

***One click FGH goodness***

Keep abreast of the latest FGH news on your iPhone. Some of you may already know about this feature and some might not. So I thought I would make a quick little how to:

For starters, open Safari on your iPhone and go to our tumblr blog. http://www.fromgreatheight.tumblr.com

Once at the blog you will see a picture of Adams nipples. Ignore them and click on the icon in the middle of the lower toolbar. As highlighted below. (Adam is also helpfully looking at said icon, he is so clever!)

Some options will open. Click the bar that says 'Add To Home Screen'.

A new menu will open allowing you to name the 'icon' accordingly. e.g. FGH

 A pretty little icon now shows in your iPhones home screen for one click access to all things FGH. SIMPLES!

Our 'tumblr' blog is a mirror of our official FGH blog so you wont miss a beat. There you have it, hope this helps.

Oh and as the late great Peter Falk  would have said... 'Just one more thing'. With the 1st of July fast creeping up, this means the monthly 'FGH Newsletter' is nearly upon us. If your not on the mailing list and would like to be contact me at fromgreatheight@hotmail.co.uk

Love and Unicorn breath,

From Great Height

***Charity Gig for Sandra***

Hello all,

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow night we play 'The Boston Arms' in Tuffnell Park as part of a fundraiser for 6 year old Sandra who is currently battling Cancer. All money made on the door will go toward helping her in her fight for life. Tickets on the door are £5. More info can be found over on our facebook events page by clicking here.

And you can also read more about Sandra's story here.

Other than that, we had a successful rehearsal last night finishing up the instrumentals for new song 'Between The Divide'. We can now start on writing vocals but you can expect to hear it live very soon. Its sounding pretty good to my ears, I will hopefully post a sample online soon so keep an eye out for that.

Until next time,

FGH
