This month’s Fishbowl podcast features The Stand, who came along to Carrot Cottage Studios earlier this week to play a few songs in session and to have a chat with Mike & Daren about what they’ve been up to and what they have planned.

The Stand will be playing at the next Fishbowl Acoustic Showcase at the Trinity Arts Centre in Tunbridge Wells on Saturday 15th December, along with Little Fish Big Pond (who?) and Seeker. Tickets for this gig are limited and will probably sell out fast, so we recommend booking in advance from the Trinity box office at www.trinitytheatre.net or 01892 678678, to avoid disappointment. 

Next year, we’ll be putting on additional gigs at Morello in Matfield, Kent. The first is planned for Sunday 13th January. Check out the venue at www.morellorestaurant.co.uk.
