The Yardbird, 21/11/12
It’s always fun playing at Birmingham’s finest jazz club The Yardbird and Wednesday’s gig was no different. The weather outside was frightful but the crowd was so delightful. Thanks to all who attended.
Special mention and thanks to Mark Francis for photographs and vibraslap*

End of an Era
Good evening friends, Romans and countrymen, we, the band, would like to make an announcement.
After eight years of sweat, blood and tears Simon ‘Diamond’ Key has decided to hang up his stockings and drum sticks as the original drummer of Carousel Circus. It wasn’t a decision made lightly by Simon, but he decided that it was for the best as juggling work, family commitments and being a full time rockstar was becoming a struggle. Our last gig with him at the Tamworth bandstand was an emotional rollercoaster full of tears, laughter and beer and he will be sorely missed and hard to replace.
We would like it known that there are no ill feelings and it was all very honest and amicable, in fact Simon has expressed his desire to be our band photographer and still be involved with us creatively.
So let’s all sit at our computer desks and offer Simon a round of applause for all his years of service.

The Circus Play With Fireworks
The Circus and Co. celebrated a successful photo shoot last night with a burger, a banger and a BANG!
The Succulent Six and their loyal groupies enjoyed a pre-firework bash in the Derk’s (the drummer) backyard. It was a not-to-be-missed event, with special guests such as Hugh Hefner, The Hoff and Ronnie Corbett making an appearance.
Many thanks to Derk, Gemma and Noah for having us and putting on the wonderful spread.
