hooray! 

It is with great sadness that we announce Romy and Andy will be taking a break from Midnight Mile due to life commitments, so plans to release their latest record are on hold for the time being. The band would like to thank everyone for their support over the past few years and want to make it clear that this is not the end of the band but merely some time apart.

As a thank you to their fans MM are planning to release a free download single of live favourite 'Timber! Timber!' on 24th October and perform at a celebratory show in Cheltenham in November.  Here's what the band have said about the news.. 

from MM: 

"Time for abit of an update… The coming months see us in separate countries, and although this breaks our hearts a bit, we’re calling it a temporary sign off. We’re planning on taking this opportunity to better ourselves both as musicians and as human beings, and come back stronger.

As a thank you to everyone we will be putting out ‘Timber! Timber!’ and a new track for free at the end of this month. To celebrate the sign-off in style we will be playing a show at the Frog and Fiddle on 11.11.11 with some of our friends that we’ve made along the way.

We send a massive thank you to everyone who has ever watched a show, bought a record or leant their ears. You continue to inspire us."

Details on where to get your copy of TImber! Timber! will be on our news pages in the coming days, until then warm your saddened heart by watching this amazing MM video of the single!

XMAS TREES ON FIRE

Okay, so its only October but we're getting into the Christmas spirit here at istfHQ, so much so we've gone and booked a massive show in December to facilitate a Christmas hangover the size of Bono's Cranium.  

In partnership with the guys at 2000 Trees Festival we're hosting another of our 'Trees on Fire Festival' all dayers. 

Scheduled for Sat 17th December at the Frog & Fiddle in Cheltenham, the show will host 16 bands and solo artists over two stages, showcasing our entire roster plus a few of our favourite folksters from in and around Cheltenham, AND a whole bunch of 2000 trees bands past and future, all for the bargain price of £5 adv. (that's 31p a band!! Don't ever say we don't give you anything) 

Tickets for this show will sell fast so get yours early to avoid sad faces, they will be available from our news page and blog this Friday 14th October. 

For more information and full line up check out our facebook event page, and click attending! 

We're stepping things up a gear here at istfHQ and delving into the wonderful (and frankly confusing) world of new websites. 

We've felt the old one doesn't especially reflect who we are and what we're doing now, two years down the line, so we've 

jumped ship to the guys at limitedpressing for all our hosting needs. 

What this means is that over the next couple weeks we'll be updating everything, which may mean certain pages etc may be unavailable. For the most up to date news focus your eyes on our facebook page. During this switch around our old bigcartel store will remain fully operational if you'd like to place an order, afterwards however the new site will be the central hub for all things istf, we'll still have fb, twitter and out blog but all news, info on your fave istf bands and our store will be available at either istartedthefire.co.uk or .com 

We hope that during this switch you'll be able to find all you need and are not too affected by amateur html-ers like us losing pages and redirecting you everywhere but our site, it won't take us too long we promise and it'll be worth the wait!

wish us luck.
