06/08/08 Gigs & links page update...
Full support line-ups for our Chelmsford and Cambridge headlines are now up on the gigs page. On the links page you will also find info about our chosen charity for the Cambridge gig - Little Havens Childrens Hospice. 05/08/08 AloneMe in your living room!
We've been thinking about this for a while, but now finally (after encouraging nudges from some of you good people out there) we are making ourselves available for house concerts. It'll mainly be Sarah and I, but the full (acoustic) band option may also be available to those with large enough houses and enough friends to help pay for it! If you'd like to know more about house concerts, and/or specifically booking us to do one for you, just email us at info@nettlerecords.com (no obligation) and we'll send you all the info you'll need. Dave B 28/07/08 Secret gig sold out!
Well done to those fans who got in quick enough to get themselves invited to our very exclusive 'secret' gig on December 27th. This special event, which was only announced to mailing list members, was fully booked within just days of releasing the details. Even the guests lucky enough to secure their places will not know the exact location of the event until shortly before the night, but rest assured it will be worth the wait! If you're kicking yourself that you missed out on this one then sign up to the mailing list now to make sure you're not left out in future.
Also...we welcome the widget!
The cool little mini-site above is the perfect pocket-sized way to stream AloneMe tracks/videos etc and is designed to be added to your own web pages to help spread the word about the band to your online buddies. Have a fiddle and see what it can do!

13/7/08 BIG thanks...
...to everyone who came to our sold out show in Great Bardfield on Friday 11th June. We recorded and filmed the whole thing so all being well we'll have some live tracks creeping out bit by bit, and hopefully a DVD. Watch this space.
2/6/08 Play your part!
So...today is the big day! It is with great pride, excitement and dare we say relief that we can finally announce that 'Sketch' - our first full length studio album - is now officially released and available nationwide on High Barn Records.
It feels like the road has already been a long one to get this point but in many ways this is just the beginning. We thank you all for your incredible loyalty and support over the past few years and invite you to share this exciting milestone with us as we move on to the next chapter in AloneMe history.
There is SO much you can do for us to give this release the biggest possible impact. Here's a few suggestions...
1) Go into your local music store and ask if they're stocking the album. If so, get yourself or someone you know a copy. If they're not, the shops will soon get the picture that they should be if enough people start asking!
2) Buy or download a copy online. Here's a few direct web links (although the album should be available on many more sites than listed here)...

The majority of the online stores have a review/ratings option and this could really make an impact if enough of you take a moment to encourage others to check us out. It really needn't be anything fancy or long-winded but 'every little helps' as they say.
4) Tell your family, friends, work colleagues, classmates, neighbours....about us. How about popping our 'widget' on your webpage for others to see (info/link available at http://www.reverbnation.com/controller/widget_code/tune_widget_popup/artist_199808 )
5) Come and see us play live. The gigs list is looking very healthy these days with highlights including a number of festivals and sets at favourite AloneMe haunts including Katie Fitzgeralds in Stourbridge, Acoustic Routes in Cambridge, AcoustiCity in Colchester and many more.

Got any other ideas of how we can reach the masses? Your comments, suggestions and ideas are always welcome.
Many thanks,
