***Pictures from the Peel***

Hello all,

Really awesome night down at the Peel earlier this month. Talanas and Spires were perfect hosts and we thank them for letting us tag on to the London date of their Bloodstock warm-up tour. It was a great night of music in one of our favourite venues. As a metal fan you/I couldn't really have asked for more. I highly recommend both bands.

Our good friend and associate 'Derrick Wess' was at the show. Here are some photographs that he took. As always you can find more of his extensive photography collection over at his official blog by clicking here.

***A quick thanks / Details for the next show***

Just a quick thanks to all who made it down last night. you were all top-notch as usual.

We had a great response to the mailing list too which is so important to us as it's the best/most direct way for you to keep in touch with what's going on in the world of FGH. Emails go out on the 1st of every month as rule of fun and we will never spam your inbox. Its just not how we roll ;)

And so.. on to the next show! 'Talanas and Spires Bloodstock Warm Up Tour. Feat. From Great Height'. Seriously this show is just going to be mind blowing. If you like your metal hard and loud and proggy then you have no excuse to miss this tour. It's certainly one of the best bills we have ever played on.

Doors are at 7.30pm and tickets can be bought on the door for £6. all the info you need can be found by clicking on the poster below. Hopefully see you there!

Until then,

FGH

***Aaaaaaand RELAX!***

Phew....

Mad couple of days that was. Great showings at both The Peel, Kingston and The Purple Turtle in Camden (yeah that's right. we only play places beginning with the letter 'P'). Thanks to everyone who came down and showed support as always.

I have put some pictures below proving just how awesome these events were. Massively enjoyed Matt Stevens too. Was great to see him again. I have posted a live video I made on his new track 'Rusty' have a look if you enjoy digital looping/acoustic guitar/noodling stuff.

But onwards and upwards my friends! Those gigs are in the past. Gone! Finished! Over! Time to move on. Our next show is for a very good cause. The event is called 'Music For Life- Charity Gig For Sandra'. Now Sandra is a 6 year old girl with cancer. We have been asked to play this show by our good friends in The Mercy House. We don't know Sandra personally but I have been affected by cancer and unfortunately a lot of people these days have. One hundred percent of all door takings will be going towards helping Sandra in her fight for life and will help her beat cancer for good. Anything we can do to build steps towards beating this horrible ruthless disease is a good thing. Go to the facebook events page by clicking HERE.

Some of you will have already heard our latest song Disciple (what do you think by the way? enjoying the darker sound?) but we also have two more on the back-burner. We shall be completing them in the next couple of weeks, hopefully with a view to air them at a live setting soon. As well as this we are putting the wheels in motion to bring you all a new EP. I can exclusively reveal that currently the track-listing so far looks like it will be 'Mayday', 'Disciple', 'Contact, Release', ' The Calm That Comes After' and 'Between The Divide'. this is subject to change but it's looking more and more concrete that this will be the new as yet unnamed EP.

Finally our 'Merch Store' is imminent. I will be making an announcement on that very very soon. So sit tight and i will let you know more info in the next couple of weeks.

That's all for now. Hope your all good, keeping well. Keep in touch. Love hearing from you all.

TTFN,

FGH

It's an all dayer with a cracking line-up with the mighty Touchstone headlining.
