Clubhouse Newsletter #57

Good Morning!

Hope you are all keeping as well and getting through…

Here’s a little something that will brighten any day… even a Friday 13^th in 2020!

The Redlands Palomino company release their first new music in six years in aid of nurses facing financial hardship…

'Should we go out to a nightclub, or stay at home with Teenage Fanclub?'

The Redlands Palomino Company - now over twenty years into their career - are not known for being prolific. They have released only four albums and a handful of singles in the last two decades. Teenage Fanclub is their first new recorded material in over six years and the band are therefore pretty excited to share it with people. But it is a bit of a strange single to choose to release though - a song about one band's collective love for another. Part love letter to their musical heroes and part looking fondly back at the past and their youth and being OK with getting older. 

Teenage Fanclub is a song from a band who simply make music for the love of it and each other and are happy to wear their hearts and influences on their sleeves. As the lyrics say 'Should we go out to a nightclub, or stay at home with Teenage Fanclub?'. It is pretty clear what The Redlands Palomino Company would rather do. Teenage Fanclub is available via Clubhouse Records as a download single, exclusively via Bandcamp. 

The band aren't particularly interested in their music making a single, solitary penny for huge tax-dodging multinational media companies worth billions though, so it won't be available to download via the usual suspects. The band are, however, really passionate about what the NHS and essential workers have done for us all this year. The Redlands feel that nurses in particular, who have not had a real term pay rise in over 10 years, have been betrayed by the Government. So if you think you'll enjoy listening to the Redlands Palomino Company sing a song about their collective love for Teenage Fanclub, and you can afford it, pay whatever you like and every single penny will be donated to nurses in financial hardship via Cavell Nurses Trust.

The track can be bought as a ‘pay what you like’ single at the band’s Bandcamp page

 A glowing response for Gow’s latest music….

A couple of weeks ago we set loose two new tracks from the ever-prolific Pete Gow. 

The double a- side, 'Cheap and Shapeless Dress' and 'Happy Hour At the Lobby Bar' has received incredible reviews and airplay on dozens of specialist radio shows and the support has been amazing, with the BBC’s Ralph McLean describing Pete as ‘one of my favourite songwriters in Britain’. 

Available only as a 45rpm single, a limited pressing on heavyweight vinyl that includes complimentary downloads, the tracks will not be made available on any other digital platform, or physical format.

 The Ramblin’ Roots Revue

We maintain our levels of excitement to be starting to promote shows again at the award-winning Bucks Students' Union in High Wycombe under the Ramblin' Roots Revue banner, even though for obvious reasons we have had to rearrange our November show.

We know it’s a tricky time to be organising anything but we’ve got to keep hope alive and we are fed up of sitting on our (well sanitised) hands!

These shows are limited capacity (70) and all socially distanced, with all guests sat at tables in groups of no more that 4, so a little different than we normally host, but it's great to have the door open and be thinking about live music again.  

The first events in this incredible series of shows have sold-out but we’ve planned some more for you wonderful people!

Saturday 11th December - Robin, Danny and Friends / The Goat Roper Rodeo Band / Pete Gow and Joe Bennett [SOLD OUT] 

Saturday 12th December - Robin, Danny and Friends / The Goat Roper Rodeo Band / Pete Gow and Joe Bennett [SOLD OUT] 

Saturday 9^th January – Emily Barker & band / Steady Habits / The Blue Highways [TICKETS]

Saturday 23rd January - The Sierra Band's Neil Young Tribute / The Marriage / Luke Tuchscherer and David Banks [Rearranged date - SOLD OUT] 

Saturday 6^th February – Treetop Flyers / Paul McClure & The Local Heroes / Hannah Rose Platt [TICKETS]

That’s all for now, take it easy and we’ll speak soon…

Tristan, Danny and Gary
