A long gig and a big gig:

Hello,

Just thought I'd mention some forthcoming stuff while I am here as well as the retrospective I just wrote up. Fragile Creatures are playing two shows in February, both of which we're really looking forward to.

This Sunday coming (February 5th) we're playing an early evening show in Shoreham at The Duke Of Wellington [368 Brighton Road, BN43 6RE Shoreham-by-Sea, United Kingdom]. As some folks will already know Fragile Creatures started last year when we decided to retire -ahem- 'Adam Kidd Band' and refocus. At the time we started working on a large batch of newer material, which has made up most of the sets we've been played in the handfull of shows we've done since becoming Fragile Creatures. This meant our drummer James, the latest addition to the band, hadn't played a lot of that older stuff. This has now mostly been rectified and our Shoreham show will be our chance to play most of everything we've got!! Here's a list of the songs we played in our last rehearsal:

1. Fragile Creatures
2. End Of The World (For Two)
3. Stowaways
4. The Chemicals
5. This Strange Dance
6. She Makes Me Nervous
7. Strong Enough
8. Dear Michael
9. Into The Night
10. Virtually
11. Down In The Basement
12. All You Believe In
13. Bird In A Cage
14. Sunshine
15. Just A Fool
16. Slow Down
17. Empty Head
18. Hold The Line (Yes, our famous Toto cover!)

We'll be starting the gig at around 4pm and breaking the material down into two 9 song sets. I've also been working on a list of cover version and other songs I might play for some acoustic interludes... here's a rough list of what I've worked on for that:

'Going To Acapulco' - Bob Dylan and The Band
'Watching The Detectives' - Elvis Costello
'Good Vibrations' - The Beach Boys (although I'll need some vocal help on this)
'Willin'' - Little Feat
'Day In The Life' - The Beatles
'The First Day Of My Life' - Bright Eyes
'Time's A Wastin'' - June Carter & Carl Smith (if I can convince my girlfriend to join me for a duet)
and some originals like Blueprint, I Won't Tell If You Won't, A Message (if we need a sad moment) and new song Stand Up And Be Counted; although I probably won't play all of these tracks!

Later on in February we're palying at the the Pavilion Theatre in Brighton on Thursday 16th! For this show we'll be supporting the excellent Foxes! who are celebrating the launch of their debut album. Tickets are a surprisingly (for the Pavilion Theatre) cheap £4 and it's quite an early show too. Doors are at 7:30pm (accompanied by a singer-songwriter in the downstairs bar) then we're on at 8pm followed by a band called Jetglo and then Foxes!
