It's taken Sherlock's Dog quite a while to finally write this blog update, having moved two houses and disappearing off to Australia to help run a Goth/Steampunk shop, but more of that later.</div>
<div>
So, we did have a gig at the Phoenix Festival in the Workhouse, Llanfyllin but we had to pull out due to unforseen circumstances, however, Spook and his good lady Jules went along and had a great weekend, BB Blackdog, Dr and the Medics, Metropolis and many, many more were brilliant, Birthrite even dragged a slightly drunk Spook on stage to duet with Erazamus Voss singing "Is There Anybody Out There", great stuff.<br />

Back to the 5th September and the awesome event Steampunk at the Silver Bullet which included Gladstone, Metropolis and Ghostfire, (unfortunately The Bram Stokers couldn't make it) the venue filled up fast with lots of friends coming down to see this great gig, not only was this Gladstone's last gig for a while (due to Spook going down under) but it was also Ghostfire's first gig with their new line up.</div>
<div>
First up were your pals Gladstone, we were really looking forward to this gig after sadly having to pull out of the Phoenix festival, joining us on stage was the amazingly talented bassist from Birthrite Mr Mark "Thinsliced" Round. It went superbly well, the audience were very enthusiastic and we enjoyed every minute of it.</div>

The night sped on with Bury St Edmunds own Metropolis, these guys are brilliant, they played a superb tight set, it's always a pleasure playing gigs with them, next up were the headliners Ghostfire, with new material, sound and line up they are a must see.<br />

Ok, where does this leave us? Well, Gladstone are sadly no more, Spook and Jules are, in the mean time, running Gosling Giftware in Deloraine Tasmania, bringing Goth, Steampunk and splendidness to the masses. (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/gosling.giftware?fref=ts">Gosling Giftware</a>). So, Spook has joined a new Steampunk band called 5 or 7, check them out here for more news <a href="https://www.facebook.com/5or7band/">5 OR 7</a>.</div>

<h3>
A Steampunk Extravaganza!!</h3>
Fair ground rides, steam trains, traction engines and a Dad's Army museum, what more excuse do you need to visit Bressingham Steam and Gardens, well, how about the fantastic BresSteam Steampunk event. The event was hosted by the very talented Myster Crowe of Thy Last Drop and was an enormous success, there were stalls galore selling all kinds of gadgets, trinkets and apparel, a magician, a burlesque dancer (Finesse Tempress) and to top it all there was the Vagabond's Ball.<br />

The night kicked off with the retro futuristic space sounds of Metropolis, a superb live band, they played songs from their debut album "Just Killing Time" and the new album "Out of Mind", it was great to see these guys again, it seems an age since we last shared a stage.<br />

Next up was us, yes Gladstone hit the stage fast and furious, with not much room to swing his cane Spook took to the floor during Night Creatures, the set went on with the new punk song King Ludd, all the classics from "Tales from the Jago" followed and also included the new Gaslight and for the first time in front of a live audience we played <br />

<h3>
Gladstone returns home.</h3>
4th April saw Gladstone back on home turf when we returned to the Labour Club <a href="http://legendarylabourclub.com/">legendarylabourclub</a>, a venue we last played on 3rd March 2012!! It has been too long, the Lab is an awesome venue tucked away in darkest Victorian Northampton and a perfect venue for a Steampunk event. Steampunk at the Lab was hosted by Matt Appleby and Bungle Lord, who's other half Heather is proprietor of <a href="http://www.heathersnorthampton.co.uk/">Heathers</a> THE place for Steampunks (and anyone else for that matter) to go and have tea and cake.<br />
The event began at 2pm with an array of stalls ranging from Goth clothing to books, which included both Heart's Cog Imperative and Automata Wars (see this blog for there launch events) and the workshop "Starwars: Steampunk'd" by L.M. Cooke and Steven C. Davis, as they say "this is YOUR story, so don't blame us, who were merely your humble conduits".<br />

The evening event was kicked off in great style by the Northampton alternative poet Nathan Jones who was witty, clever and very entertaining as well as thought provoking. Next up was our old mate Dale Rowles of BB Blackdog who did an amazing acoustic set with songs from Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Radiohead and many others, it was so good to finally share a stage with him again and to cap it all it was his partner Karin's birthday, happy birthday my dear.<br />
Next to tread the boards was another bunch of our mates, the wonderful Birthrite, they gave as usual a very tight and powerful set, their energy is as addictive as their songs are catchy, as with Dale if you haven't seen them live then do try, to quote The Jam.....that's entertainment!!<br />

Last up was local boys and gal Gladstone, it is always a pleasure to play Northampton and this time was no exception, with mask and sonic assault we launched into Night Creatures, two of the three new songs got an airing, Gaslight and King Ludd as well as old classics such as The Madness of Tilly Mathews, Curse of Tutankhamun, Twisted Lip and Dr Dexter's Dream.<br />
The night was fantastic, thanks to Pete the sound man, the audience were amazing and it was so good to see old friends such as Biff Raven-Hill, Michael Sumner, Graham and Heather Hayden, Alex Novak and the lovely Karen who I haven't seen in an age!! There are rumours of another Steampunk at the Lab event, if this happens then please come to Northampton for it, this event deserves to be a must for you all and the beer is very good. Gladstone's album is available for download here; <a href="http://gladstoneuk.bandcamp.com/album/tales-from-the-jago">Tales from the Jago</a>, the photos were taken by Spooks daughter Rachel Stoker, here's some more;<br />

Risc Cafe, Reading.</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On Saturday 7th March we found ourselves in the privileged position of taking part in the launch of the Steampunk novel Heart's Cog Imperative by Steven C. Davis and S. J Stewart, in their own words "The Heart's Cog Imperative is the tale of the stolen Royal British empire airship the Herbert George and her crew, headed by bookseller-turned-rogue, Captain Jasper Woods. He is ably assisted & hindered by his crew of Thistle Wales, Fuschine Nagle, Pallograph Smith, Hadron Templeton, Prometheus Jones, Rain Silvermore, and others ...<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hearts.imperative?fref=ts">Heart's Cog Imperative FB page</a></div>
<div>
A donation was also raised for the charity New Futures Nepal who do excellent work raising awareness for orphaned and disadvantaged children in Nepal (<a href="http://www.newfuturesnepal.org/">New Futures Nepal</a>). The night began with a reading from the novel by Steven C. Davis, Jane Setter and Gladstone's Gordon Stoker, this reading outlined the basic plot of the novel introducing important characters and setting the scene for the next reading which would follow first a tournament of tea dueling, a well fought and courageous clash of wills.</div>

Following many a fair fought duel came the superb Crimson Clocks, with songs from Celtic mythology to evil geniuses, it was good to see Trevor on good form.</div>

Sadly as Steve could not make it on this occasion Dave Evil of Gladstone joined the Crimson's for the song Red Violin, the set also included among many others Shadow, Limbo and Crossroads. The set went very well and Linzi, Colin and Jo performed magnificently (<a href="http://www.crimsonclocks.com/about-us.html">Crimson Clocks</a>).</div>
<div>
Another reading from Heart's Cog Imperative followed the Crimson Clocks, this reading expanded on the rebels and described in very exciting detail an airship battle between East Indiaman airships and the Herbert George airship stolen by the rebels, to know more seek out the novel!!</div>

As the evening drew to a close Gladstone came on in traditional noisy fashion with Night Creatures and carried on in that vein with Bluey, Twisted Lip, The Madness of Tilly Mathews, Dr Dexter's Dream, Purple Reefer, Newgate, Curse of Tutankhamun and the haunting Gaslight.<br />

With still time to thrash a few more songs out Cloud sang For Whom the Bell Tolls, then God Save the Queen followed by Boilerplate Dan, finally finishing on a well received version of Jack Hall (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/GladstoneUK">Gladstone</a>). Download the album "Tales from the Jago" here; <a href="http://gladstoneuk.bandcamp.com/album/tales-from-the-jago">Tales from the Jago</a>.<br />

First up was the super fun mash up band The Memepunks, in a jocular fashion they smashed together songs you will recognise with theme tunes that you will also recognise to produce a heady mix of musical fun. While dancing, there will also be humming and singing along; catch them if you can.<br />

Next up were your old mates Gladstone who gave their all despite gremlins in the bass amp!! They kicked off with Night Creatures then Bluey, The Madness of Tilly Matthews, Newgate and Twisted Lip, next was the new song Gaslight which went down a treat, during one of the bassless bits Dave and Spook performed Jack Hall which was followed by Dr Dexter's Dream and The Curse of Tutankhamun, a superb gig which every member of Gladstone hugely enjoyed, it was so good to see Cloud back on guitar after his short break.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Finally it was over to the headliner Aurelio Voltaire who was, as always, very popular with the crowd with his Gothic folk extravaganza, he was indeed raised by bats!!<br />

With the final demise of Alt-Fest after what seemed like an age of rumour a new festival was put together in just 10 days!! This miracle was worked by Dale Rowles, Silver Johnson and Rich Starkie (if I've left anyone out I'm sorry) and it comprised of the Steampunk and parts of the S.O.P.H.I.E stage. The venue was that awesome place The Workhouse in Llanfylin, Wales, where we played nearly exactly two years ago.</div>

We left Northampton on the Friday evening and arrived in the middle of the night, we managed to put three tents up by the light of car headlamps, then we were off to the bar for a well earned pint or three. Festivities had started on that Friday night and we were sorry to have missed Montague Jacques Fromage III's opening, Dark Patrick, Needle Poppets, Skreamer and the late night burlesque show, but we really enjoyed ourselves on the Saturday with amazing bands such as Dark Design, King Bains, Mysterious Freakshow, Skorbut, BB Blackdog, The Wattingers (slaughterhouse blues steampunk!!

Gladstone were on at 6pm and we threw ourselves into giving as good a show as we could, this was Captain Joe Sparrowlegs first gig with us on guitar and he proved himself with style, starting off in time honoured tradition with Night Creatures followed by a new song King Ludd, we rattled through Bluey, Newgate, Jack Hall, The Madness of Tilly Matthews, Twisted Lip and another new song Gaslight, Dr Dexter's Dream, Purple Reefer, Mountain King and The Curse of Tutankhamun, finally finishing on Sex Pistols God Save the Queen which saw Spook off into the audience yelling "No Future!!"<br />

Another drunken night followed with Dale giving us the last bottle of his excellent home made elderflower wine, cheers mate :), songs were sung around the camp fire well into the early hours, we made many new friends and caught up with many old mates, in all it was a fantastic weekend and we look forward to it all happening again next year.</div>

This album has been about two years in the making, this is due to it being <b>totally </b>home made, proper Steam PUNK, it was recorded in a work unit in a village in Northamptonshire using equipment bought by Mr Dave Evil who learned how to use it himself, he also rendered the album and mastered it all through trial and error.....but he did it, it took blood, sweat and many tears but he did it!</div>
<div>
The artwork was crafted by our very own Miss Amy "Teacake" Bradford who has recently graduated from university where she studied animation design, she managed to juggle studying and playing in the band for three years, well done Amy.</div>
<div>
What about the name I hear you cry, this was Spooks idea, he reads a lot and he had just finished "Child of the Jago" by Arthur Morrison, the Jago is a fictitious slum in the east end of London approximately where the Old Nichol was just north of Spitalfields, if you want to know more, read it, you won't be disappointed. </div>
<div>
As for Paul we were so pleased when he returned to the fold as our bassist, it was great to have him back from his short break and the endless re-recording and frustrations have finally born fruit, it is with a heavy heart that we must say goodbye to Cloud Gingeris McBuggerballs V, who remains a close and valued friend, what ever he decides to do and in what direction he wishes to travel we wish him well and all the luck in the world. This album is testament to a band that didn't give up, I hope you enjoy our efforts.</div>

The album will be released on 31st July and is priced at £6, each track is individually sold at £1, it is downloadable from our Bandcamp page here <a href="http://gladstoneuk.bandcamp.com/album/tales-from-the-jago">Gladstone, Tales from the Jago.</a></div>
<div>
So, what's next for Gladstone, hopefully Alt-Fest will be our next live outing where we will be debuting our new guitarist Captain Joe Sparrowlegs and a couple of new songs "King Ludd" and "Gaslight", after that it's back to the studio and work on another release, lets hope it won't take too long...........<br />

People sometimes say to me "Sherlock's Dog....get off the couch!" and at other times say things like "are you an old romantic?", well I suppose I am and a very happy old dog I was when I traipsed up to Stoke-on-Trent with my old mates Gladstone, we were heading for The Underground in Hanley and what a crackin' venue it was. The event was hosted by Ceri Roberts and Rich Starkie of Neon Tiger Productions and was in aid of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation.</div>

After a quick load in and sound check it was doors open and away we go.....first to tread the boards was a great band called Hex, these guys are usually a three piece Heavy/Glam rock band but they had been reduced in numbers to two and so armed with acoustic guitars they still rocked the place, they are massively talented and huge fun.</div>
<div>
Next to launch themselves into the spotlight was Gladstone (hurrrahhh!!), Spook, his face hidden within a mask for the sake of public decency, began proceedings with the intro to the first song "Five and twenty ponies trotting through the dark, brandy for the parson, baccy for the clerk ect......" and so Night Creatures began, this was closely followed by Bluey, Newgate, William Winter, The Madness of Tilly Matthews and a new song that was played here for the first time, Springheeled Jack. They then went on to play Twisted Lip, Dr Dexter's Dream, Mountain King, The Curse of Tutankhamun, Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls and Sex Pistols God Save the Queen, for an encore they belted out TMTWNBBFN's Boilerplate Dan and ended on a rip roaring version of Jack Hall.</div>

A superb night, Amy Teacake, Mr Evil, Mr McBuggerballs V, Spook and Paul Shovelhands would like to thank everyone for the warm reception you gave us, Paul had quite a romantic surprise when his fiancee Evie turned up out of the blue (well actually smuggled up there by Spook!), he'd already bought flowers, nice work Mr Shovelhands.<br />

Finally the awesome BB Blackdog rounded off the night with an incredible performance, their blend of blues/psychedelia/funk creates a sound that BB have made all their own, it was great to catch up with these guys again, we hadn't seen then for soooo long, we finally got to meet their new bassist, a fine lady called Molly and blimey can she play bass!!!!</div>

Saturday 23rd November saw a Steampunk/ Gothic invasion of the Charles Bradlaugh pub in Northampton, folks came from miles around to experience the sonic delights of Gladstone, Birthrite and Blitz DJ. The doors opened at 8 to the superb sounds of DJ Alex and Dudley's finest Birthrite were on at 10, as ever these lads know how to deliver a great set, energy oozes from every verse and chorus.....great stuff!!<br />

After a short intermission Gladstone burst onto the stage, masked and murderous, with tales of murder, madness, curses and incarceration to name but few!! Much fun and dancing around ensued with Spook, Cloud, Teacake, Shovel hands and Evil giving their all, with a final rendition of God Save the Queen and For Whom the Bell Tolls ringing in the ears the night rocked on with DJ Alex's awesome set. What a splendid success the night was, many thanks to everyone who came down to see us, I know some travelled a very long way! Also many, many thanks go to Alex Novak (<a href="http://www.spiralarchive.com/spiral_nav/spiral_home.htm">Spiral Archive</a>) for organising, promoting, DJing and photographing this event (a man of unfathomable talents).<br />

Hello Sherlock's Dog here, I've been sent on many a strange investigation, but Vampires in Finedon.....surly not!! This (relatively) quiet town in Northamptonshire was the location for the first event organised by Mr Michael Sumner of Harrowden Books (<a href="http://www.harrowdenbooks.com/?gclid=CNC2stLxp7oCFc_ItAodzgsALA">http://www.harrowdenbooks.com/?gclid=CNC2stLxp7oCFc_ItAodzgsALA</a>) and it was a superb success, the event was held at the Finedon Community Centre which is a converted Victorian Gothic chapel, a perfect place to celebrate Bram Stoker's masterpiece, on entry patrons were encouraged to sign the "guestbook", this was a full size cardboard coffin donated by a local Funeral Director!!<br />

The first performance was a reading from Dracula, Harker was played by Mr Steven C. Davis, Mina was Ms Biff Raven-Hill, the Brides of Dracula were three dancers from the Duende dance troupe, the voice of Dracula was Mr Gordon (Spook) Stoker and Dracula (the menacing figure in the background) was Mr Michael Sumner. The reading was from the beginning of the book when Harker is with Dracula in the castle and is made a prisoner whilst Mina pines for her love who is in such a distant and mysterious land.......</div>

They gave a blistering performance playing songs old and new including the classic "Goodbye Happiness" the theme song from the Vampire series "Blood and Bone China".<br />

Finally my muckers Gladstone appeared on stage, it was great to have Paul "Shovel Hands" back on Bass, we missed him over the summer. They soon thundered into "Night Creatures", the set included the songs "The Madness of Tilly Matthews", "Bluey", "Newgate", "The Ballad of William Winter", "Twisted lip", "The Curse of Tutankhamun" and "Dr Dexter's Dream", Gladstone ended their set with roaring versions of Sex Pistols "God Save the Queen" and Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls".<br />

Sorry about the delay in writing this snippet of Gladstone news but this puppy has been busy wearing his paws down on the hard streets of London, being Sherlock's Dog ain't as easy as you may think!! Aannnyyy way back on 14th August the chaps and chapette found themselves heading back to London, in particular to that superb French restaurant Brasserie Toulous Lautrec on Newington Butts, Kennington. We were a little concerned as the music Gladstone play isn't exactly Eidith Piaf!! However, as we entered we were immediately surrounded by friends, some old mates, mostly new and all fantastic. So, to the wonderful piano playing of David we slowly got our stuff in and set up, with a short sound check we were ready to go at around 9.15.<br />

Unusually our set was to be in two halves, with a room fit to burst we started....Night Creatures soon blew any cobwebs (and Eidith Piaf fans) away, every now and then we play a song that concerns the area we're playing in and this night it was The Madness of Tilly Matthews, the Bedlam hospital he was an inmate of was situated just around the corner, it's now the Imperial War Museum, the perfect place to have a war museum! Moving on we then played Newgate, Dr Dexter's Dream, Purple Reefer and ended this first half with the Sex Pistols God Save the Queen, much bouncing around......<br />

After a half hour interlude it was time for Spook to get up and do his *ahem* turn, he stood up and did the Victorian rhyme "The Drunkard and the Pig", a temperance rhyme....from him!! This was followed by the amusing song "So Was I" and everyone in the audience joined in with the chorus, which was fantastic, next Spook was joined by Mr Dave Evil for the cautionary tale Jack Hall, then with the addition of Cloud, Joe and Amy we were back to the faster stuff. Twisted Lip followed then Bluey, Ballad of William Winter, TMTWNBBFN's Boilerplate Dan, Hall of the Mountain King, Curse of Tutankhamun and Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls, after many shouts for more and the audience in dancing mode we gave them God Save the Queen again before we had to call it a night, what an amazing night it was, we all felt great after and we were sorry to say goodbye to such an crackin' place.</div>

Gladstone were very excited to return to play at Electrowexz/Slimelight on 3rd August, the Hammer House of Hedonism event was created by Living on Video and kicked off in grand fashion with a very humorous lecture on Vampires and their shifting sexualities in popular fiction and film by that dastardly dandy Mr Darren Demondaz, a very entertaining and informative talk indeed.<br />

Following Mr Demondaz was the excellent cabaret entertainer Nigel Osner who gave us a showcase from his "Men, Women and Vampires" show, a very talented man and it was great to see him again.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Close on his heels came the incredible and very theatrical Alter Red with a fantastic set, a totally black clad singer (literally head to toe, see photo!) and automaton dancers gave us a very entertaining gig, we would love to see them again soon, highly recommended.<br />

Then it was our turn and with Amy's chimes Gladstone entered the stage complete with much corpse paint and masks, Night Creatures thundered out to a very lively audience as did The Madness of Tilly Matthews with Joe thumping out the opening bass line, we had an amazing time, it is always such a pleasure to play the Elecrowerxz. Bluey, William Winter, Twisted Lip, Newgate, Dr Dexter's Dream, Hall of the Mountain King and Curse of Tutankhamun all followed to an enthusiastic reception, we ended the set with the customary God Save the Queen (which had folks bouncing all over the place) and For Whom the Bell Tolls which ended up with a member of the audience joining Cloud on vocals, excellent stuff! All too soon it was over for us and we left the stage to the final act.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> We kicked off our summer mini tour in grand style on 27th July with the momentous launch of L.M Cooke's The Automata Wars volume 2, the ORT Cafe is an old factory that now houses various art projects, the room the event was being held in was a long hall lined with stalls selling all manor of Steampunk accessories, clothes and of course books from The Last Line. First band on was Crimson Clocks fronted by the multi-talented L.M Cooke, they played an amazing set including a fantastic version of Hawkwind's Masters of the Universe with Ms Cooke sporting a natty robot/borg costume! Next on was Dr Agamemnon When, known usually for his skills as Master of Ceremonies tried his hand at stand up comedy, and a fine job he did too with laughs and groans in equal measure.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> Then it was time for the official launch, reading extracts from the novel were L.M Cooke, Steven C. Davis (DJ with Reading4u) and Dr When, the readings came with echoing gunfire and a haunting accompaniment on violin from Jo of Crimson Clocks.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> Then it was time for more music this time from Birthrite, they gave an inspired performance with Erazamus bouncing all over the place, he even sang whilst lying on the ground!!

We were appearing on the Friday night of a full weekend of musical entertainment brought to you by the likes of BB Blackdog, Lord Montague Jacques Fromage, Birthrite, Metropolis, Crimson Clocks, Whiskey Bob Shaker and Sarah Knight and the Bluestones to name a few (well, most actually). Friday nights entertainment began with the superb Sarah Knight and the Bluestones who played a wonderful set comprising of some great covers by the likes of Deep Purple and The Doors.</div>

Soon it was our turn and we played a full set, we were honoured by a guest appearance on Bass from BB Blackdog's Mike Bower who played a blinding set, many thanks to him. We played our usual set which went down very well, Dave looked particularly Evil in his new mask especially when he was lurking around the audience (Twisted Lip & Jack Hall), Cloud was (as usual) the epitome of cool, Amy Teacake looked fantastic in her Squaw costume and Spook was...just Spook! After a most enjoyable set we ended on God Save the Queen and For Whom the Bell Tolls, many thanks to all our friends who made it up to see us, you are all very much appreciated.<br />

Next on stage was that Steampunk funkster Lord Montague Jacques Fromage, he is a master of satire and a fantastic compere, he then introduced the awesome BB Blackdog with Mike doing his double shift playing another set for BB, I bet he slept well that night! BB Blackdog played a storming set, even Montague joined them on a song, it was superbly entertaining.</div>

ROCKING A RACEHORSE & GLADSTONE...BUDGET.</h2>
<div>
Hello Gladstonians, old Sherlock's Dog here with an update on what's been occurring in the Gladstone camp, well on 18th May we treaded hallowed boards at The Racehorse in Northampton, this iconic pub has hosted many local legends and it was great to finally play there.<br />

The event was "Rock on Stage 4th edition" and featured Lynchpyn (London), Podagra (Birmingham), The Red Triangle Circus Gang (Northampton) and us...we went on first. We had a 30 minute set to do and we started off in our traditional way with Night Creatures, The Madness of Tilly Matthews ect, at the end of our slot we were encouraged to play one more, so out came God Save the Queen....with further encouragement Mr McBuggerballs V and Mr Evil gave a roaring version of For Whom the Bell Tolls which brought to an end any more of our shenanigans. The gig went very well it was so good to see so many of our friends in the audience, thanks to everyone who made it your efforts are very much appreciated and many thanks go to Mr Joe Foley (of Tape fame) for playing Bass for us at such short notice.<br />

So we move on to 25th May and north Leicestershire for the much looked forward to Glastonbudget, there were several Steampunk bands on alongside us, they were Birthrite, BB Blackdog and Metropolis. It was (thankfully) a warm sunny day and just outside the marquee where we were playing was the Steampunk market area where our good mates Steve Frearson and Jacklyn Hyde (Jaqui & Giles) were plying their trade,we also met up with Claira who showed us around (I think she should have been working, but I won't tell!). <br />

There was a great atmosphere and each band performed magnificently, we were on at 6.15 and again we only had a 30 minute set, this time we included Jack Hall in the set list which went down well, we threw everything we had at giving a good performance as this was going to be Paul "Shovel Hands" Hutchins last gig with us, it is with great sadness that he must leave but we wish him well and the very best of luck with his future endeavours, for our future gigs we are proud to introduce Mr Mike Bower as the new member of Gladstone and I'm sure all Gladstonians will give him a rousing welcome.<br />

.......and so, what's next I hear you ask, we will be finishing the mixing on the album and trying to get a release date for around the Summer Solstice, as this is a totally DIY enterprise (how Punk is that!!!) we must crave your patience as it's not easy, but we are getting there I promise. Our next gig will be on Friday 28th June at the 2nd Steampunk Solstice at the Pavillion in Matlock Bath, lot's of bands and hods of traders it will be fantastic, I hope to see many of you there, many, many thanks go to the photographers who as always have done an amazing job, they are Irek Broda, Giles Warhurst and Fletch Photography <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fletchphotography1982">https://www.facebook.com/fletchphotography1982</a>, until then TTFN and stay safe.<br />

It was Saturday 11th May and we were off west to the beautiful town of Tewkesbury, the occasion was our good friend (and fan) Claira's birthday party at The Northway pub. After a warm welcome we set up and sound checked, then at around 10.30pm we went on.<br />

<div>
We began with Night Creatures and were soon into The Madness of Tilly Matthews during which we dragged Claira up on stage to sing the chorus....ain't we cruel!!!</div>
<div>
We played a full set and really enjoyed ourselves, after Newgate the birthday cake was presented (a chocolate caterpillar....ooohhhh yeeesssss!!) then we carried on, Dave in full horror clown costume gave a disturbing performance of Jack Hall and we finished on a rousing <br />

On 13th April off I went as fast as my paws would carry me to Matlock Bath and what I thought was a Derbyshire version of Crufts, instead I was greeted by my old mates BB Blackdog and what a superb day it was! This was the fund raising event to help BB Blackdog replace their equipment after it was stolen last December, the event was organised by Cas Sharpe and what a superb job she made of it. All the action took place at The Fishpond and at 2pm Whiskey Bob Shaker kicked things off, Whiskey Bob is a very talented musician, he is a one man band using loops to to create an amazing sound, check him out you won't be disappointed. Next was Punk band Gripper and the Gurnards, featuring BB Blackdogs ex-bassist John Ferguson on drums, it was quite a sing-a-long to the old classics (aahhh those were the days!), local rock duo The King Bains entertained us next with some outstanding guitar work and they were closely followed by Heavy Metalers 3 Second Fuse who played a mixture of original and cover songs, for a while they were accompanied by Mike Bower of BB Blackdog on bass.</div>
<div>
Refreshment time saw us legging it down the road for a pie and a pint and we were soon back for the steamier second instalment which kicked off with Crimson Clocks, the Crimsons gave an excellent set, it's always good to see Linzi's pussycat being stroked so lovingly, to continue in true Steampunk fashion the wonderful Metropolis hit the stage, they are just dazzling these days, a superb band.<br />

It was now time for the auction, many traders had donated their wares for this day and the audience did not disappoint, they were biding like demons and many funds were raised by their generosity, now it was time for the Supergroup Birthrites Jonny Zygen, Mark Thinsliced and Gladstone's Dave Evil were joined by BB Blackdog's Mike Bower in a thundering rendition of "Paranoid", when this was finished the BB Boys were grabbed, forced into seats and when the supergroup were joined by Dave Sharpe on vocals they were well and truly "gimped" much to the delight of the audience.</div>

The night carried on in style with Birthrite blasting onto the stage and in fine form with Erazamus dancing with the crowd, next were my pet humans Gladstone entering with the usual ethereal bells and smugglers song before launching into Night Creatures, Bluey, Ballad of William Winter, Twisted Lip, Newgate, Dr Dexter's Dream, Hall of the Mountain King, Curse of Tutankhamun, Madness of Tilly Matthews and ending on Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls especially for Giles and Jaqui ('cos they like it!) at which time old Spook decided to jump off the stage and headbang....with no hair!!<br />

Finally the band for whom the day was all about, BB Blackdog began their set, it had been quite an emotional day for them and when they found out how much had been raised they were amazed and quite overwhelmed, it had been a great day and well done Cas not only for organising the event but also for being brave enough to invite Birthrites Mark, all of Metropolis and all of Gladstone back to her house!! Dave cooked an amazing Chilli con carne and the very generous Giles Warhurst donated a massive chocolate cake (made by the Tattooed Cake Company) that he had won at the auction (I hope Jaqui is speaking to him for this selfless act), it tasted wonderful!!<br />

Next day it was back to Matlock Bath and The Fishpond to clear all the equipment away and head off to the China Rose for a slap up meal with loads of friends, what an amazing bunch you all are, soon it was time to say goodbye and go convoy fashion (Metropolis in front, God help us all!) to Rock Zombie in Dudley.</div>
<div>
We arrived just after 6 and loaded in, Rock Zombie is a new venue and it has a great atmosphere, a must visit if you're in the area (and you like you're music fast 'n' noisy that is), Gladstone were first on and they gave a cracking set, as the time given was the same as the night before (45 mins) the set remained the same, the crowd were a bit different to the usual Steampunk events, in this venue there were Bikers, Metal Heads, Punks, Goths, a real cross section of "alternative" cultures and it was fantastic, after Gladstone came <br />

Metropolis who also gave a great energetic set and went down very well as did the headliners Birthrite playing on their home ground they gave their all. This was the first Steampunk event in Rock Zombie and by the sound of the feedback I doubt it'll be the last, it was a superb night but all too soon it was time for us all to go our separate ways into the night.........</div>

Friday night arrived in a swirl of snowflakes, it was all very pretty....miserable!! It was 22nd March and we were off to the Charles Bradlaugh, Northampton, we were playing with some awesome bands that night but because of the white menace Birthrite had to cancel. So it was up to the other three bands to put on a good show, first up was LHASA Calling a Northampton post-punk band on their first outing and they pulled it off magnificently, next was <br />

Gladstone with a masked Spook wandering around lantern in hand to Amy's tolling bells. We went through the usual set only leaving out a couple because of time restraints and ending on Sex Pistols "God Save The Queen", in all a good gig, it made a change playing in front of a local audience and we really enjoyed ourselves. Headlining was the superbly dark Venus Fly Trap who had just completed a European tour, it's always a pleasure to see these guys play, they did tracks from their latest album "Nemisis" and a superb cover of The Cramps "Human Fly".</div>

It was great to see some of our friends turning up and braving the inclement weather, many thanks to you all, soon it was time to load up and it was like a blizzard!! This worried us because in just a few hours time we were driving 180 miles down to Camber Sands and.............. Steampunk at the Seaside.....</div>
<div>
We left a very snowy Northampton at 10am Saturday 23rd and drove carefully out towards the motorway....which was clear so there was no problem, we were off!! Arriving safely we booked into our caravans and explored, we bumped into many friends and familiar faces, always smiling, always friendly. At 5 it was time to sound check, the headline band for the weekend had arrived......The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing!! They sound checked first and played two new songs (we were the first to hear 'em), then we did ours, doors opened at 7pm, Gladstone were on at 8.30.<br />

"It's an odd feeling singing a song about the place your standing on!" said Spook later, but that's what Night Creatures is all about, smuggling on Romney Marsh, as usual it was performed with mask in place, Cloud looked every inch the mad axeman with his sheep skull (it's called Alan) around his neck and a devilish gleam in his eye! and with a thundering bass from Paul "shovel hands" we went into The Madness of Tilly Matthews, Bluey, The Ballad of William Winter, <br />

Twisted Lip, Newgate, Dr Dexter's Dream, zombie Dave Evil entered the crowd and played his snare drum for Jack Hall, then Purple Reefer, Hall of the Mountain King and The Curse of Tutankhamun. At this point something we will remember for a long time happened, usually in our set at this point we play Boilerplate Dan but TMTWNBBFN were here and looking at us, haha!! we had their permission so we played it anyway, it went down a treat, it was a weird and exciting experience!! We ended on God Save The Queen and For Whom The Bell Tolls which had the audience bouncing around, at the end they shouted for more...oh dear...more..err, ok, so we gave them Twisted Lip again then ran for it!!<br />

To top the night TMTWNBBFN played an AWESOME set, they are without doubt one of the best SteamPUNK bands in Europe, they played all the classics you would expect from both albums plus the two new tracks Gin and (please forgive me if I get it wrong) Necropolis, we were singing "Jesus was a f**king Cockney" for the rest of the night! All too soon it was over, Marc and Andrew DJ'd for a few hours while we drifted further and further into a befuddled state thanks to several pints at the bar.<br />

Good day to you Ladies and Gentlemen, Sherlock's Dog here again with some more band news. First off a short trip to Leicester and our re-scheduled audition for the Glastonbudget festival (the first was cancelled due to very snowy conditions...frozen paws, not nice!), this took place on 1st March at that amazing venue The Shed. We did a 30 minute set which included our faster songs like Night Creatures, The Madness of Tilly Matthews, Bluey, Twisted Lip, Dr Dexter's Dream, Hall of the Mountain King and finishing with The Curse of Tutankhamun. The gig went down very well and I must thank our fans for turning up and giving us some incredible support, the good news is we got through and we will be playing the Glastonbudget festival along side (so far) BB Blackdog, Birthrite and Metropolis in May, the times and running order has yet to be finalised but you can keep up to date with developments here; <a href="http://www.glastonbudget.org/">http://www.glastonbudget.org/</a>.</div>

So what's this about a library I hear you ask....well, on the 9th March off we went on our travels again this time to the furthest north we have ever played, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. This was a bit of a homecoming for our singer Spook as he hails from Morpeth, just a little further north! The Anachronism was a celebration of all things Steampunk/Cyberpunk and was held at Gateshead central library, in the Caedmon Hall was a large stage and lots of great stalls selling all sorts of wonderful goodies. Through the day there were craft workshops, talks, Tea Duelling, 99th Garrison the Star Wars Sith cosplayers looked incredible and local rapper B Type entertained us before the first band took to the stage, this was the awesome Birthrite!</div>
<div>
Birthrite played a fantastic set (as usual), Erazamus Voss bouncing all over the place and dancing with....anyone really! They played for about an hour and then it was our turn, now, there is something I have to confess, for the first time in the bands history we changed the line-up! What happened was......</div>

<div>
due to personal reasons our beloved guitarist Cloud could not play this gig, it all happened at the last minute so we moved Paul "Shovel Hands" onto guitar and stole a bassist!! So introducing our new stand in bassist Mr Joe "Sticky Fingers" Foley, we have played with Joe's band Tape (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/tapethetape">http://www.facebook.com/tapethetape</a>) several times before (Sept 2011 Brixworth, May 2012 The Bantam, Northampton), Paul and Joe had three days to learn and practice the set, with Cloud's help they worked a miracle.</div>

The gig went very well, we started with Night Creatures, Tilly Matthews (during which we had the privilege of having Erazamus Voss and Mark Thinsliced of Birthrite on backing vocals), Bluey (during which Dave split his bass drum skin!), a very different version of The Ballad of William Winter (which sounded great!), Twisted Lip, a guitarless Newgate and Dr Dexter's Dream, Jack Hall, Purple Reefer, Mountain King, Curse of Tutankhamun and ending on a rip-roaring version of TMTWNBBFN's Boilerplate Dan. It had been a great day, but it was not over yet, after the gig we travelled north to Morpeth where we had a great feast at Spook's parents house and then drove into a cold snowy night to visit William Winter's Gibbet.....</div>
<div>
Next time...Cloud returns for a big Northampton gig and Steampunk at the sea side, stay tuned, be safe TTFN Gladstonians.<br />

The new year kicked off to a flying start with the release of the compilation CD Northampton Under Glass 2 from White Elephant Records, along with other great Northampton bands such as Ethereal K and Venus Fly Trap the CD features Gladstone's The Madness of Tilly Matthews. Other band news, we've been busy recording tracks for our first album, it's been a slow process but we're getting there.......honest! The band were also mentioned in The Squash Magazine in an article on Steampunk written by our good friend Biff Raven-Hill, read it here;</div>

So, to our first gig of the year, The Second Surrey Steampunk Convivial which was held at The Royal Oak, New Malden. The day was filled with splendid events such as Tea duelling, clockwork snail racing, shadow puppets and the incredible creations of Herr Doktor. Laughs (and groans) for the day were brought by the excellent Count Rostov, the music began with Dirty Spoons, a lively folk band followed by Moth who gave us a great set and got the audience ready for Birmingham's own Crimson Clocks. Following the Crimsons were the excellent Birthrite who gave us a great set against a back drop playing black and white films, finally it was Gladstone's turn on stage but unfortunately time was not our friend this night, the venue had a live music curfew of 11 o'clock and we hit the stage at 10.40!! So with time fast disappearing we ran swiftly through Night Creatures, The Madness of Tilly Matthews, Bluey, Twisted Lip, Hall of the Mountain King and The Curse of Tutankhamun, it was disappointing but we did our best to play as many songs as possible. Next up, The Shed, Leicester and our Glastonbudget audition.....see you soon Gladstonians.<br />

Guess where we've been lately, well..... 22nd saw us on a northward trajectory landing right outside The Snooty Fox in Wakefield.....which was handy as this was where the Steampunk Christmas Party was being held with our good friends BB Blackdog, Birthrite, Demolitia Tribal, Montague Jacques Fromage and Crimson Clocks.</div>
<div>

Our incomparable compere for the night was the amazing Steampunkfunkster Montague Jacques Fromage who had come all the way from the good old USA, he did an amazing job introducing the bands and making us all move in some oddly funky ways as only he can (yes we are looking at you Cloud!). Next to tread the festive boards was the Black Country rockers Birthrite, they just get better and better with new songs from a promised second album (soon please!). They played many old favourites from the "If it ain't bost" CD, Erazamus gave a very lively performance, Mark Thinsliced thundered an incredible bass alongside Jonny's sonic assault and Dek blasted all before him......it was good!</div>

Running through Bluey, The Ballad of William Winter, Twisted Lip (with Mr Evil playing a devilish triangle), Newgate, Dr Dexter's Dream, Jack Hall, Purple Reefer, Mountain King and The Curse of Tutankhamun was such fun, Gladstone ended on their customary covers beginning with TMTWNBBFN's Boilerplate Dan, Sex Pistols God save the Queen, at this point Paul Shovel hands was joined on bass by BB Blackdog's Mike Bower for The Madness of Tilly Matthews and the final song Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls.</div>

Finally rounding the night off was the amazing BB Blackdog, they gave us songs old and new and had everyone dancing, Demolitia danced divinely as always, Peter got gimped (a nice birthday treat for him!), on borrowed kit they played an amazing set and didn't let the days events spoil anything, for what these lads and lady had gone through to still get up there and play was just incredible, .....chaps we salute you......</div>

Vampire Victims and Steampunk Slayers; Gladstone at The Electrowerxz.</h2>
<div>
Just like Dick Whittington's pussy Sherlock's Dog found himself on the streets of London, pounding his way through Islington to the Slimelight/Electrowerxz club, here he found a tank (I kid you not!!) and the most friendly club in the Metropolis. Events kicked off at 8pm and a good sized crowd filled the room, splendid Steampunks and voluptuous Vampires abounded, the evening began in cabaret style with the multi talented Nigel Osner giving us his superb Vampire act. Next was the lovely Lexi Wolfe (of Emmerdale fame no less!!) who performed her Vampire cabaret for the first time I believe and she did it beautifully.</div>
<div>
As it was getting on for 10ish it was time for Pocketwatch, our paths had crossed before at the Asylum in Lincoln and it was great to see them again, they are such a talented band, I'd love a CD (hint!). Their version of the Smashing Pumpkins song "Tonight, tonight" was just...well...smashing! however the night was drawing on and soon it was Gladstone's turn in the (s)limelight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
After a great introduction from Darren Demondaz the lights went down and Amy Teacake sounded a mournful bell on her keyboard, Spook came on complete with lantern and Scarecrow mask and began......"Five and twenty ponies trotting through the dark....." the band launched into Night Creatures, Cloud in long black coat with a sheep skull around his neck looked demonic, Paul Shovel Hands thundered his bass and a zombified Dave Evil dripped venom from his drums.</div>
<div>
From Night Creatures came The Madness of Tilly Matthews and on through Bluey, The Ballad of William Winter and Twisted Lip. Through Newgate and Dr Dexter's Dream they went and Jack Hall went down well with everyone clapping in time, the new composition Purple Reefer sounded great and The Curse of Tutankhamun brought an end to the set. Gladstone ended the night with covers of TMTWNBBFN's Boilerplate Dan, God Save the Queen and a superb blast of Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls.</div>

It had been a fantastic night....but it was not over, the wonder of Slimelight was yet to be explored and it was with great enthusiasm, Spook and Mr Evil didn't leave until 5.30am!</div>

<span style="text-align: center;"> Hello Sherlock's Dog here reporting on a grand time I had at The Shed in Leicester, proceedings kicked off at 7.30, there was some great stalls inside from such creative souls as Lorna Grace Vibert, Jacklyn Hyde and Biff Raven-hill's Wartime Housewife. At 8ish the wonderful Crimson Clocks stormed the stage and gave us a great performance including songs from their Ingeniously Evil CD, red violins and Celtic war Goddesses at the ready!</span><br />

Finally after a short intermission Gladstone took to the stage with Spook wearing a rather disturbing Scarecrow mask and launched into Night Creatures, they played their songs of the macabre like The Ballad of William Winter and The Curse of Tutankhamun saving The Madness of Tilly Matthews till the end when they were joined on stage by Mr Mike Bower of BB Blackdog. </div>
<div>
They played with two basses for "Tilly Matthews" and on a cracking version of Metallicas For Whom the Bell Tolls, this wrapped up a great night, many thanks to the traders, the performers, Dave the sound guy, Giles Warhurst for the photos, Mike Bower the 6th member of Gladstone and finally the audience without whom............<br />

So wearing my scariest collar and goggles I was off to The Roadhouse in Stirchley for a night of steam horror and punk terror, kicking off with Metropolis a new Steampunk band from Bury St Edmunds who blend prog and new wave into an incredible sound, next to tread the boards was Count Ilya Rostov with his hilarious tales of Vampire Beetroot!! Headlining this first half of the entertainments was the awesome Birthrite who delivered an incredible and energetic performance.</div>

After a short interval Birminghams own Crimson Clocks brought the crimson hour much closer, evil geniuses at work...you have been warned!! It was at this part in the evening that my lot appeared skulking around the stage like an undead plague, Gladstone thundered into The Madness of Tilly Matthews and continued in this vein delivering their usual tales of murder, curses and poor career choices to a very appreciative audience (thanks everyone!!), they ended on a rollicking rendition of God save the Queen then hit the bar......some things never change!</div>
<div>
Once the dust had settled cockney power was unleashed in the form of The Cogkneys who's ribaldary know no bounds, "Pull your bloody trousers up" wise words indeed....Next PIRATES, Seas of Mirth brought nautical mayhem and plundered all before them in an awesome display piratical mischief, watch out for that bleedin' big crab!<br />

Polishing off the night with style was our old mates BB Blackdog with wandering bassist Mike making sure everyone saw his performance as he went from room to room smashing out a thunderous bass line and Axle giving a superb drum solo, Dale cool as ever played all our favourites and ended a superb night. Many thanks must go Linzi for organising this great event, to the compare Mr Agamemnon When for his insightful commentary between acts, the traders who (as ever) brought the most amazing gadgets, gizzmos and gifts for our delight and the Steampunks, you amazing people!!<br />
