CAFÉ ETCH, MIDDLESBROUGH 29.11.24

This is a confirmed gig, but obviously if other dates crop up in the meantime, they'll appear above this. Stay tuned. There's a chance of us playing at Switched On in Whitby In November, but there's no confirmation of that yet.

After the Wind Eye gig at Cafe Etch, where Ammonites performed the Water/Wind/Fire soundtrack, we've been invited back by Mike Guess. This time we'll be playing something new as part of a 3 band extravaganza.

We'll be joined by Firebox and The Doctor (Andy and Linda to their friends) who will be offering up the extraordinary sonic marriage of Linux powered electronics and clog dancing. It's not something you see or hear everyday.

Also York's TSR2 (2 Simons and a Brian) will offer knob twiddling sound massage. They're always keen to discuss wires, plugs and cables with anyone too. Their latest CD Birdstrike is out on Wormhole World.

The cafe sells lovely chips, tea, coffee and beer in a handsome building that used to be an engraver's shop, hence the name. It has a back room where the bands play, but you can wander between the cafe and the gig as you wish.

It'll be a night of innovative music in an intimate setting.

T SHIRTS?

 Would you like an Ammonites t-shirt?

Unfortunately you can't, because we haven't made any. However, if we did make some, they might well look like this. 

The drawing was done by our friend Russ drawn on the spot as we were playing a gig in Whitby. Its spontaneity is what makes it special. As you can see, it's unavailable in two colours.

TQ LIVE 2025

We've been invited to play at TQ Live in Newcastle sometime next year. Should be brilliant. No doubt we'll be on with a couple of other excellent turns, so stand by for more news on that.

These gigs are organized by Andy Wood of TQ Zine in the upstairs room at The Globe, a pub that actively promotes all kinds of interesting music. 

Here are some posters from previous TQ Lives...
