There is one new gig in September. Go see the Gig Guide.

Lots of small changes to the site (including adding a new bass player page...but for the moment it is just a place holder, and sorting out some other bits that needed doing).

11-03-05
The Band Diary has been updated.

11-03-05

Drum roll...
Junes Pure Radio Interview has finally been added to the Music & Interviews page!!
The 43Mb interview has been split into 5 parts (including the two live acoustic songs). The Led Zeppelin and Loreena McKennitt songs Michael and Carl introduce had to be edited out though due to copyrights...but that'll give you all a good excuse to go and track them down for yourselves!!
A new gig has been added at the Witchwood in November, and SSR's next gig will be the Albert Hall in Bolton with Wishbone Ash on the 14th, and I for one, am looking forward to it.

14-09-04
It's Band Diary update time.
Michael talks about some holiday hijinks and the run up to the long awaited Album among other things!
On the gig front, there is only one addition (the reason why there are so few this autumn is explained in the diary), which will be at the end of November at the The Railway.
On the site front, I've finally got around to adding a new wallpaper (the first with the new logo).
I'm still waiting for the Pure Radio Interview I promised you a while ago to get back to me (slight editing problem!)...oh and Carl's stag do and wedding were both great, so expect some new pictures for the gallery when I see Michael next.

07-08-04
I've only been able to add the Out Takes from June's Pure Radio Interview to the Music & Interviews page, but it is well worth the download, just to find out what the first record Carl bought was!!
Speaking of Carl, it's his stag night tonight, so merriment and alcohol await!

02-08-04
Since July was a bit quiet website wise I will be updating the Music & Interviews page with June's Pure Radio Interview sometime later this week to get August off to a good start and if I get chance, I'll add a few new wallpapers with the bands new logo.

26-06-04
Updated Michael's and Lee's band pages with their new equipment and updated the gig guide.

21-06-04
We're baaack!!
Due to a slight problem with the domain name (which has thankfully been sorted) the site has been down for just over two weeks. All email accounts are working again, but anything sent over the past fortnight will not have been received (including all the spam mail I so luv reading!).

Well, as you can no doubt tell, the site has been given a major facelift over the course of the downtime (both Michael and myself were getting a little bit bored with grey...we'll probably get just as bored with blue in a bit, but ho hum!!).
I've coded the entire site from the ground up, new graphics and a cool little image changer under the site menu that should switch between pictures of Michael, Carl & Lee. The site is also a bit more graphic intensive than the last version, but not as nearly as much as it could have been!
As with all websites, this is a work in progress, so any bugs, gremlins or other problems with the site you may find can be reported to me at where I will fix them asap.

Actual site updates include June's Band Diary and the Gig Guide has been trimmed to June onwards.

Tidied up the gig guide and added some more dates.

19-01-04
Finally been able to upload the Pure Radio interview from November 2003. At just short of 10 minutes long, it weighs in at 9.04 Mb so if you are on a dial up modem it may take a while to download (sorry!)...but it's worth it as you will not only find out where the band got its name (and the candelabra story!), but also included is a live version of Upon Weathered Sands performed by Michael and Carl.
More Interviews will be uploaded when I get them!
I've moved the Downloads section which used to be on the side under the Site Map to its own page. The main link is on the site map.
