The end of an era

Filed Under :

Posted By : the fix now defunct | Comments : 21

It's all over

Just got back from tonghts gig where we all agreed that as opposed to carry on fulfilling gig commitments but playing at half strength it would be better if we called it a day.

As most of you know I decided to leave the band this week and tonght just didn't feel right at all.

As has been said before we are all still friends and the split is amicable, it's just for the best for the time being.

Steve and Ryan do have plans to continue and I wish then the best of luck and will be behind then 110% of the way.

So to all the people we are gonna have to let down over the coming months you have my absolute sincerest apologies and I WILL be in touch with you all personally over the next few days.

To everybody that has supported us especially over the last year or so thanks.

It's been great

Night Train available to cover Fix gigs LOL (thought I'd get in first LOL)

Even The Beatles split up....what you should do is go on to have four (well three) individual no 1 singles and albums...that would be cool! :o)

@ Piggery bandana
I bet there were more than us two! LOL
In fact I bet somebody, somewhere has been through their gig list and been on to it already LOL...or am I being too cynical ??
I know if we'd have been at all similar to their style, I would have done LOL
