Thank You Newton!

A big thanks to Newton Faulkner and all of his gang for having us on the tour for the last couple of nights. It was great to get out of London to play and even better to be so warmly received by everyone in Sheffield and Brighton. It’s often a tough job being a support act but we were made to feel very welcome so thank you...

If you were there and liked what you heard, be sure to join the VT mailing list so we can keep you posted on what we’re up to. And next time we come to Brighton and Sheffield we’ll bring the rest of VT with us - that should blow the cobwebs out!
