Hurrah, so far Falling and Laughing have played two gigs outside of Birmingham - one in London and one in Stourbridge - so we’re looking forward to our trip to Bristol!

It’s on Saturday 3rd October at The Mother’s Ruin on St Nicholas Street

Big Pink Cake are hosting. There’s a facebook event here.

£3.00 in. Think we’re on first, probably sometime soon after half past eight. Also playing are Hi-Life Companion and Phil Wilson. Ace, hopefully he’ll pull out a version of No Place Called Home.

Mother’s Ruin is one of the strangest (in a lovable way) venues I’ve ever been to. The bands play upstairs on the right hand side of the stairs, and the audience stand on the left on a balcony which sort of overlooks the stage. There is a little bit of space to stand in front of the bands, but it involves balancing precariously at the top of the stairs.

I sat at the front last time I went, and here was a picture of Manhatten Love Suicides that was taken from there -
