North For The Winter on BBC Radio’s “The Session, Introducing” - Sunday 7PM
by North For The Winter on Jul.10, 2009, under News, Recording Diary: "Perfect Automation"
So it would seem that we have inadvertently stumbled into some sort of BBC local radio competition! Apparently we’ve made it through the initial selection process and will have our latest track, “She Self Medicates”, reviewed by the presenters of BBC Berkshire’s “The Session Introducing” - a show designed to shine light on local unsigned acts, such as ourselves! Excellent!
So, if you’re near a PC (or radio for that matter) on Sunday evening tune in to BBC radio Berkshire at 7PM and listen to a local radio ‘expert’ tear apart our hard work in the review section! We’re looking forward to it!
In other news, we have a few gigs lined up this summer so catch us at one of the following venues, or don’t… either way we’ll still love you!
Friday 24th July – Plug n’ play, Reading
Thursday 30th July – The Hobgoblin, Staines
Saturday 22nd August – Reading Fringe Festival (Face Bar all-dayer)
Also, we’re now listed and have been played a large number of times on StudyVoxFM, a global radio station designed and run by students. Visit/listen here: http://www.studyvoxfm.com/

by North For The Winter on Jul.10, 2009, under Gigs
So we’re playing at the Hobgoblin in Staines on the 30th of July! We’ve never been happier!
Supporting Feud and Sion (who are really great live and have toured with Oceansize as well as supported Air and QOTSA and other acts at various festivals). We’re REALLY looking forward to this gig, it’ll be a fantastic show, maybe the best of the year. Entry is only 3 quid and will definately be worth it!! (Note: ID required)
Fucking Excellent!
