The Puppets make the local press!! :D

The Booze Brothers Band playing at Worstead Festival 25.07.2010

As Phineas T. Barnum once said," There's no such thing as bad publicity." I think that depends entirely on how good the pics of you are! During our travels as a members of the Booze Brothers Band, we have done many a gig in and around the North Norfolk area, and more people than we think recognize us from over the years. One of the more prominent recurring gigs we have done is for the Worstead Festival Committee. Their yearly festival always has live music, and we have been fortunate enough to play there many times over the last 10 years. We met a Journalist and Editor from Worstead called Gay Webster, who was interested in doing an editorial on our band for the local magazine http://www.justregional.co.uk

Gay had seen us play a few times at the festival and emailed me one day after seeing our puppets online. She asked if she could write a piece about us as a Band AND our puppets. We weren't quick enough to think of a decent reason why not, so she sent me some questions and arranged for a local photographer, Sam Meyer to come to one of our rehearsals. At the time we managed to get a free room to rehearse in at the back of the Worstead pub that was being renovated, that's why there are paint tins and such kicking around in the background!

Me and, errr, well... Me!

To begin with I was told we were going to be the subject of a small article, but after Sam's photos came back to Gay at the magazine, she decided to make it a cover feature as well! Not only that, we were to be featured in two different publications, The North Walsham edition (page 6-7) and the Sprowston magazine! Fame at last! ha-ha.

To read the article, follow this link, (page 6-7) unless you were fortunate enough to get a free copy pushed through you door. If you were one of those lucky people, then I suggest you find something else to read for the next few minutes! (or maybe go here and watch some of our videos) Hopefully this will bring more people to subscribe to our YouTube channel, the blog, our Twitter and Facebook pages and be able to keep up to date with our puppet world and watch our clips!
