Festivals and Gigs – 2014

This year certainly been a really important year for us, playing in :

• Italy
• Netherlands
• Germany
• Scotland
• England
• France
• Greece

Our final show of the year is:

• November 28 – The Music Rooms – Dubai, United Arab Emirates 

Whilst it is unfortunate that Paul [Mendham] is not able to join us for this gig, we are delighted that we will have our excellent deputy drummer Oli Davis with us.

Oli is also from Salem’s hometown, Hull – an excellent drummer and artist. He’s done a magnificent job learning the full Salem set in a short time.  Our final (pre-Dubai) rehearsal at the weekend was great – and we’re all set to go ROCKING in The Music Rooms!   Heathrow – here we come!
