"There's a hive of activity coming from the onebigwellingtonboot camp this year. We already have numerous gigs announced through till June, including touring bands from the USA and Italy. We are using a new venue (The Cell) in addition to our old ones and to take a little of the pressure off our weary backs, we have new recruits for the onebigwellingtonboot cause! These fine people are: Hannah (who used to book the Fuse gigs at the Delph for a couple of years) and Marc (who did more amazing bands than we have space to list under the name Lincoln Le Shire shows and Lincoln DIY). So please check out our myspace page (myspace.com/onebigwellingtonboot) and have a listen to some of the stuff coming up. Our next gig is on Wednesday 21st february at The Cell with You Judas (Derby) headlining and Beyond This Point Are Monsters (Derby) supporting. After that we have what we think is maybe the best gig we have ever put on with Usaisamonster (USA, Load Records), Bilge Pump (Leeds), Younogodie (Derby), and more. It will be at the Bivouac. More details on our page. Hope everyone is well. Peace x"
