Thanks to everyone who came to support the rock night launch party at Level 2 in Huntingdon yesterday we had a blast! Xx

To make an 16 hour round trip exciting  the alternator broke on the way to Wincanton, Somerset yesterday leaving us trying to spare the ailing battery by not use lights, brakes, wipers, demisters for the 8-hour journey. To make matters worse we couldn’t even watch South Park on our portable DVD player

Predictably it rained all the way there and it got dark at half four in the afternoon - meaning that we’d have to use both lights and wipers for some of the journey. Unfortunately my Satnav had just enough charge in it to send us through Bristol town centre in rush hour as a final swansong before it cowardly turned itself off to figure out the rest for ourselves…inevitably at this point the wipers also spluttered to a halt and we had to call out the breakdown man.

 After a 40-minute wait we were excited to learn our policy meant he was obliged to tow us to the nearest garage within 10 miles - (We should use this 10 mile callout thing more often. Diesel’s not cheap and 10 free miles is 10 free miles..)  - unfortunately when he turned up our van was about 3 times bigger than his recovery van (a bit like a little tug towing an ocean liner), and it was half 6 on a Friday so nothing was open anyway.

We ended up buying a spare battery off him and made it to the gig at ten to 9. We had a great night, which made up for a rubbish journey, everyone there was amazing and we even got champers in an ice bucket after the show! Bugger was we had to kip in the van (bit cold!) till it was light enough to travel. We spent an hour trying to decide whether it was more comfortable to sleep on flightcases or kind of around them and on top of other bandmates, who were decidedly softer.

Anyway next morning we set off and after three more stops to change batteries, buy jump leads (This journey’s getting bloody expensive….) we got to within 20 miles of the repair shop - no fuel now either…and we can’t turn off engine if we don’t have to…oh and avoid unecessary braking/windscreen wiping…we finally made it back to get the alternator fixed for the gig that evening in Huntingdon. So far out of Wincanton gig we’ve got a battery and some jump leads to show for it, oh yeah and some free champers and some good times too

Maybe a bit pointless posting this, as if you’ve seen the site maybe you’ve seen them already? Anyway, done an update on the photo page http://www.emerald-sky.com/photos2009_2010/Top/default.htm (now a bit neater, part-Flash Photo Gallery IMO it looks WAY better, I even managed to get my hands dirtywith some html coding to get all the links I wanted, also the  ’buy/album’ page is back up so you can once again order good ‘ole in-your-hands-see-it-smell-it physical copies again (if you prefer that sort of thing). http://www.emerald-sky.com/album.html  Tracks are still also available as mp3 download on iTunes and other online stores. Oh yes, also there’s a wallpaper/free stuff page http://www.emerald-sky.com/wallpaper.html if you want our mugs on your desktop. In the meantime, I’ve got a cold so signing off to get a cup of Horlicks and some Locketts. Cheers! S x

Saw Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. today, elementary! 

Check out the latest Classic Rock Society issue for a full review  (including our set lol!) of the Cambridge Rock Festival ‘10 by live music reviewer Andrew Lock!

“…A promising band for the future all three very talented musicians with the vocal harmonies particularly outstanding, they look good and as are sisters interact very well on stage, to me they have a little bit of Rock Goddess and the softer side of Girlschool in their sound and I don’t think there are many bands around like that at the moment…”

Many thanks to Andy Lock for the reviews!
