The Brief was a good show on Friday night. We had a good turn out.

Support from The Plan was excellent. Keep an eye on them, with the right moves they will do well.

Word to the wise. If you are over 6'6" tall. you won't fit on the stage at The Brief! There is fortunately a little oversized are of the stage that justs out beyond the low roof so you can stand there, just don't try to run and speak to your drummer :-)

Sound was pretty good. Especially as the sound engineer was called out of sick bed at late notice.

We played all the new material. Hard Copy and Burn! Burn! Burn! seemed to go down very well.

Looking forward to Friday night. 27th November we are headlining at The Brief, Croydon. Rehearsals have been going well and we have a great set with old and new material. Support from The Plan.

See you there.

Last night we ran through the set list for the Croydon Brief show on the 27th. Songs are shaping up well, we just need to make sure the running order is right. We've totally reinvented 'Amazing' as an up tempo rocker with a stadium chorus. Soudning pretty good. You'll hear it in a couple of weeks if you are coming to see us.

The new songs are now posted in the [drum roll.....] SONGS section of magic-ship.com site. They are excellent. Go listen and tell us what you think.

You can listen to the songs already already. They are over on the MySpace. Keep up at the back!

Thanks to Ian at Airplay Studios we were able to take away copies of further mixes of four new songs last night. They are sounding great. Lively and fresh. We'll be posting them online this week for you to have a listen. They'll feature early next year on a new album.

There's nothing like a good breakfast the morning after a late night band recording session. A Sausage and Egg McMuffin is nothing like a good breakfast, but all the same it tastes just right.

Last night saw Magic Ship record three new songs: 'Two in the Coals and One in the Flames', this has become a live favourite and we finally recorded it. 'Murphy's Heroes', a stomping good track about a bunch of would be rock and roll stars. Finally, 'Burn! Burn! Burn!', a song all about the rise and fall of of Guy Stevens.

It was way past clocking off time and way past your bedtime when we sang and played the last notes. Safe to say though that through the headphones I think we have some real class on our hands with this batch of songs. Once we get some rough mixes we'll even make them available for preview on www.myspace.com/magicshipband and the music player on this site.
