Hi folks. Despite the knock back of TWO cancelled tours in the last
few months (see, it's not just...), we are trying to keep things on
the go. When you lose dates at such short notice, it is hard to fill
the time but we have managed to put in a few days writing and
rehearsal (another new album under construction), as well as a couple
of gigs we wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. I won't detail
them all here, as they are on the eddieandthehotrods.com site.
However, one of those new gigs is in Kettering on Sat 18th at a club
called The Sawyers. They have had a few computer problems which has
affected their publicity machinery, so if you are around that part of
the world - so will we be on Saturday! Sunday 19th sees us back at The
Cheese and Grain in Frome with our old muckers, DR FEELGOOD.

Other news - Barrie has just finished recording his contribution to a
BBC Radio 2 celebration of the rock/punk scene in 1976. He was
interviewed along with Pete Shelley and John Lydon last week, to be
included in the first episode of the two part programme due for
transmission on December 2nd.

There are also some new photographs on the website, of the Rods on our
travels. They were taken by our (almost) resident photographer, Tony
Nicholls, during recent gigs at the Le Mans 24hr race and the 100 Club.

It is also worth mentioning that due to an embarrassing oversight,
Tony was not credited with his work on the latest Hot Rods album,
"Been There, Done That...". He took not only the cover shot, but every
other photo on the sleeve too, so, quite an oversight really...
You can see more of his excellent work by visiting his web site,

Cheers y'all...
