Publicity pictures added
6 promo photos from the Under A Sun picture sessions have been added to the images section.
Also, several people have emailed me as of late asking when will the band be touring the US. At the moment they are just concentrating on writing and recording new material. The Wigan gig will just be a one off. Once this is finished, and if touring outside of the UK becomes viable then I'm sure the band will tour elsewhere,

Witness plans for the coming year
The EP that Witness have been busy recording over the past few weeks has now been mixed, and will be released independently in March/April.
The four tracks that will appear are; Numbers, The Script, Hide Out and The Ending. Hide Out is taken from the 8 track demo they recorded early last year while Numbers is a reworking of a song also on said demo. Reviews and audio clips of the tracks will appear here soon.
Work is soon to start on a new album which will consist of almost entirely new tracks. The only track to be used from the demo CD is likely to be "One Is What One Is", with the other tracks being used as future b sides.
The gig set for 29th March has hit a slight hitch and is now likely to be rescheduled for the 5th April. Tickets will be on sale on the 27th January.
Thanks for your continued support of both the band and website during 2002, which will be rewarded with new material and gigs this year!
