Hi there all 'Saw Followers.

March April and May sees a very busy period for the band, starting with next weekend's gig at The White Horse Swanage, which is part of the annual Swanage Blues Weekend. This will be the band's 3rd visit, and we know that the organisers have worked very hard to ensure that this year's event lives up to the success of previous years. Our chums Renegade are playing The 'Horse on Friday 7th March, and we shall be doing our usual Saturday gig on 8th, hitting the stage at around 10pm and finishing at midnight. Please come along and support us - we will be very pleased to see you!

Later in the month we revisit the Inn on the Furlong - a favourite of ours for some years now. Tues 25th March is the date, so make a note in the old diary. Buff is hoping to avoid the famous Fireplace this time around, although we are of course aware that this may well prove to be an irresistable draw.

On Thurs 3rd April it's the Malt & Hops in Southbourne, followed by the Blue Boar Poole on Fri 4th, and then a date at the Southampton Sailing Club on Sat 5th.
After drawing breath, it's The Rising Sun Wimbourne on Wed 9th.

We have been asked to play an afternoon gig at The Lord Nelson Poole Quay on Sun 13th - from the band's perspective, these are sometimes rather hit & miss affairs, so we rely totally on the audience to buoy (sic)us up.

Bit of a break for a couple of weeks, and then it's back into action, seeing us play at the Plough in Tiptoe (near New Milton) on Thurs 1st May. This is a fairly new one for us, but is a great venue and well worth a visit. We shall be playing there on 28th June as part of the annual Harley Davidson weekend. I think it'll be a bit of a "gin gan goolie" job for us, as the 'Saw will be taking a frame tent to stay in. In the words of the late, great Marvin Gaye..."Wherever I Lay My Hat...".

On Fri 2nd May we shall be playing at Mr.Kyp's in Parkstone in support of The Larry Miller Band, We last played there supporting The Groundhogs last year, and are expecting a similarly successful night.With this one, please buy your tickets via the website.

On Sat 3rd, I'm going to see Tom Jones in Birmingham, but enough about that.
Sun 4th sees us at the Thomas Tripp in Christchurch.
The band is due to be engaging in another Scottish mini-tour 15-18 May, but more about that next time.

Our latest CD, "In The Raw" is doing very well - thanks to all our fans who have bought copies so far. If you haven't got a copy yet, you should order via the website, or catch us at a gig soon. We also are selling Crosscut Saw T.Shirts via the web or directly.

Hope to see you very soon - tell your friends about us!

Love Rhino.
