Bickers & Fij November shows

"Remember, remember the 7th & 8th of November"

First stop is Saturday 7th November at The Locomotive in Swindon where our they will be lighting the fuse, and then  standing a safe way away from a series of songs both old and new from the forthcoming album, currently in production.

The following day (Sunday 8th) they will be appearing at The Shiiine Weekender at Minehead where they will be launching a series of melancholic rockets alongside Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, Wonderstuff, 808 State, The Wedding Present, Peter Hook, The Telescopes & Pat Nevin.
