Billy Bragg Tour Day 2 – Edinburgh

Great day today, climbed a mountain, ate some haggis, saw the sights, generally acted like tourists, well good.

Thanks to everyone who came down that little bit earlier to see us supporting Billy tonight! Was a great show. Billy rocked it as expected!

…looking forward to the rest of the tour, off to Sheffield tomorrow, next gig is on the 15th at the Sheffield Leadmill.

Goodbye to Festivals + Tour Dates!

After an exhausting, exciting, rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable Bestival, we say goodbye to another festival season! Thankyou to everyone who caught our performances at Glastonbury, Fusion, Blissfields, Beatherder, Hop Farm, Latitude, Ben and Jerry’s Summer Sundae, Camp Bestival, Fieldview, Standon Calling and Bestival.

We’ll be back on the road this weekend playing at Southsea Fest on Saturday 17th September. We’re also going back to Germany to play at the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg on the 22nd of September, driving onward for a show at the Comet in Berlin on the 23rd. And if that wasn’t enough, we have a date supporting Ghostpoet at Sub89 in Reading on November 9th.

We are also pleased to announce that after the success of our Glastonbury show at Leftfield, Billy Bragg has asked us to go on tour with him! We will be playing all 12 dates of the Leftfield In Motion tour, travelling across the UK from the 13th-28th of November, alongside The King Blues and Akala.

Slow Slow Out Now!

Limited edition white vinyl available on pre-order or in store at HMV, Rough Trade or Juno…

However – the vinyls don’t have the remixes on them which are brilliant. These are available to download as an MP3 package from iTunes or Amazon.

We at Sound of Rum firmly believe in the power of recent retro collectible so encourage you to GO INTO HMV and buy the white vinyl then download the remixes. If you go to the London store you will no doubt see Kate Archie and Ferry in varying states of disguise redeeming every HMV gift voucher they’ve have ever received, including ones bought for each other last Christmas.
