I'd just like to say thanks to everyone that has helped promote The Senior Service launch party at the Half Moon Putney on January 30th. We've had some great support including being part of the Independent Venue Week campaign. There's a real buzz about the gig as it will see the next chapter in Graham Day's illustrious music career and what with the news about the Billy Childish gigs and the Medway Legends Weekender in San Sebastian, this is a great time to experience some of that Medway magic! But don't just take my word for it, check these great comments out...
"Looking at that line-up of Medway magnificence it doesn’t require me to say much more than they sound exactly how you would hope and expect: bespectacled spy walks into a nightclub as a swingin’ 60s go-go soundtrack is played by musicians with a long streaks of ash hanging from their Players No. 6 as half-drunk jugs of Watney’s Red Barrel sit on their amps. If that doesn’t sell it, nothing will". - Mark Raison, Monkey Picks Blog.

"Citing influences of high calibre - Barry Gray, John Barry, Ennio
Morricone and Booker T & The MG’s, you can certainly catch glimpses
of them all here. 'Depth Charge' could have been lifted straight from of
an episode of UFO or Space 1999, or incidental party music from a late
‘60s Hammer film. Opening with phasing that puts the Electric Prunes to
shame; It’s groovy, sexy, psychedelic, distinctly British, unmistakably
Day, and perfectly paced for a shimmy around the floor." - Debbie Sheringham, Muso's Guide Web-site.
