BLUE CATS NEWS
January 2010
Since our new guitarist Martin Ellins joined the band last year, our focus has been less on live gigs as we have been working hard on writing new original songs as well as adding new cover songs to the set. Those of you who have been waiting for the album release will be pleased to hear that it should be available sometime in May/June 2010. The debut album will include a selection of both covers and original tracks written by various members of the band.
I have had very little time to update the site since Martin joined so apologies for the lack of updates but hope to get some of the photos from last year online sometime soon and if I can figure out how to edit the videos will attempt to put a snippet from one of the shows!

A lot has happened over the past year, not the least of which has been the decision to remove the Joomla based script that made up our community. Whilst we appreciate all genuine members who signed up to receive news, we have had little time to maintain the script and it has become a target for spammers so had to go!
The community page and other sections are now back to static html pages until we have time to implement and maintain something more suitable. A new contact form has been installed and the site design has been brought up to xhtml valid.

The search for a new lead guitarist is finally over! Thanks go to Angela (wife of X-Blulix member Dave Brown) who recommended friend and associate Martin Ellins who teaches guitar at various schools in the borough of Enfield and surrounding areas.
Needless to say he has been working hard learning our set and has already made an impact on the presentation of some of the songs! No doubt our regular fans will notice the difference at our next gig in August, but please don't blame him for what may appear to be mistakes in the arrangements - some are deliberate!!!

It has been a year since our friend and sound engineer John Perrin passed away from Pancreatic Cancer. We all miss his presence and experience at our rehearsals and gigs. He remains in our hearts and memories.
