Music should be fun

Shed Heads minus drummer John Turle play at The Railway Tavern, Angel Lane, Stratford (9 September) along with Urban Reverb and The Forest Gate Crashers. The short acoustic set features: How Come?; Feel Like Making Love; Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For; The Weight; Ooh La La; and Back In The USSR.

The band appreciate promoter and compere Ken Wood's helpful tips and advice for artists (see link to website below); but are in dreadful need of some better PR! Rumour has it that now Rachel is a lady of leisure Brad has offered her the gig.

Is it Eddie Cafe or The Shed Heads?

There is some confusion when we play St Anne's Castle in Great Leighs on Friday (27 June). On the posters in the gent's lav we are advertised as "Eddie Cafe"; but billed as "The Shed Heads" on the blackboard in the main bar. A small and select crowd are there, including band groupie RoseMarie, Mick & Joyce Wallis and Stuart, our driver. Oh yes we mustn't forget Vicky The Cleaner and "The Bum Cracks".

Vicky was definitely the star of the night and was worth the price of admission alone. To watch her dive headlong into Nick and his band mate, sending mic stands flying and everyone in the vicinity grabbing for their drinks to remove them from her path and then after she is helped back to her feet by Rosemarie and Keith, keep dancing as if nothing had happened was truly amazing. Whoah! The last we saw of her, she was heading off into the pub garden - I reckon to get her head down for the night.

Set list: How Come?; Debris; Kuschty Rye; One For The Road; Ooh La La; The Weight; Blue Moon of Kentucky [fast version]; Back In The USSR; Feel Like Making Love; I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For; These Boots Are Made For Walking. Encore: Stuck In The Middle With You.

More Front Than Sainsbury's!

Shed Heads play a short set at the launch of a Sunday night open mic acoustic evening at The Crown Inn in Romford. The band played two short sets.
Set one: How Come, Feel Like Makin' Love and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Set two: Ooh La La and Blue Moon of Kentucky.

This is what the organisers had to say in their newsletter:

"[The] Shed Heads took to the stage in fine form on the opening night of the Sunday night acoustic club @ the crown. A mixture of guitar, mandolin, banjo and bass accompanied by some fine vocals from front man Keith Coffey. The band has promised to make a welcome return soon."

Accountancy Age (Pt. II)

The following Shed Head related article recently appeared in "Taking Stock"

"It seems like there's no end to the talents of E&Y staff. Alan Wallis was drafted in by the gnarled knight of the realm better known as Sir Paul McCartney to tot up his fortune, but that's by no means the only string to his bow - or in this case his guitar. The multi-talented Wallis is also the axe man for the Shed Heads band. The group is made up of E&Y's finest [sic] and the man who valued Sir Paul's fortune is a key member of the group. The Shed Heads are so handy that they even raised £3,000 for Comic Relief last year. After Sir Paul had to shell ot about £25 million to his estranged wife rumours that the Shed Heads will now be doing versions of 'Help!', 'Let it Be' and 'Live and Let Die' may not be too far from the truth."
