Hallo All.

We are now home from a quite lovely tour of Germany where we met up with some old friends and made many new ones. Robin Tothill, Rosie Spencer, Mark Stidson, Tom Granville and I and crammed into my Seat Alhambra (with large roofbox) for a trip to the land of bier and currywurst. The tour took us to Bamberg, Hamburg, Hannover, Marburg and Gütersloh (with a stop in Langerwehe on the way and a night off in Marburg) to promote the European release of The King of False Alarms.

Needless to say, a lot of fun was had by all and we look forward to the next band tour which will be in December. Tom was the most snap-happy of all of us and has his photos HERE if anyone is interested. As he was busy playing his bass, most of the photos are not taken during the gigs.

Some more giggy photos from Marburg can be found HERE which were lovingly taken by Dominik Brandtönies and Michael Schmid. Michael Fink took some there too, SEE.

More photos and videos will appear as they emerge.

Cheers.

It’s 11.54am on Sunday 6th May and I’m just printing out a few shoddy slips of paper with this website address on it. Chances are you picked one up in a bar in Germany somewhere. Thanks for doing so. In 6 minutes we are leaving for our first band tour. I’ll try to update this site as we go but you’re better off following progress (if any) on Facebook.

Hopefully see you soon, cheers.

Only a few weeks left now until we all cram ourselves into my Alhambra for my first band tour of Germany. The band which will either be called ‘Nick Parker and the False Alarms’ or ‘Nick Parker and the Gastric Band’ will have our first proper practice tonight but everyone seems to know what they’re doing. The tour is to coincide with the European release of my album ‘The King of False Alarms’ and the members are, Rosie Spencer on vocals/violin/melodica/harmonica/recorder etc, Mark Stidson on vocals/guitars/saw/bouzouki etc, Robin Tothill on drums, Tom Granville on bass and me on, well, y’know.

We’re all looking forward to it immensely. Some of us for the music, some of us for the beer, some of us for the ladies and some of us just for the craic.

Needless to say I’ll keep you updated as we get along.

My ‘real’ website got hacked by some naughty people so this will act as a more than capable stand-in while I mend it. Sorry about that.
