Get the tickets now, they just became available and they'll go fast. This is Magic Ship & two supports and a rock party into the early hours. For a fiver! Don't forget to mention Magic Ship when ordering and on the door.

What makes a band look awesome more than having a custom dream head on the big bass drum? Nothing, that's what!

That's why the Magic Ship coffer is coughing up the readies for a smart graphic drum head for Dave's drum kit. We'll be unveiling that bad boy at our next gig.

Next gig? Yes - look out for details of our next gig here soon. It'll be in the London area on October 31st. That's Friday October, 31st, fact fans. For those of you counting that'll be our second show in no less than 5 months. They don't call us the hardest working band in Britain.

Did you notice that the vote closed? Well I'd like to say that the task of finding Magic Ship's most popular member was a difficult one, and it was, since there is some calculating and Vorderman style arithmetic to be done. On first glance the votes came out like this:

Ad/LEB 9 (52%)
Col/Axe 4 (23%)
Dave/Dave 2 (11%)
Sam/ALove 2 (11%)

So you can see that Ad voted for himself the most times and Col came in a close second. But there's a clear tie for the most popular blokes in the band. It's Dave and me! As I see it -being that we got 2 votes each that means they must have been genuine fans. Most likely handsome ladies voting for Dave and uncontrollable Japanese uber-fans for me. Being that Dave's name is ahead of mine alphabetically, that puts him on top.

Congratulations, Dave! Pour yourself a drink and sign some autographs.

Sam.
