Holidays over, we have a relatively busy month in October starting with a gig on Saturday the 1st at Yeovil Labour Club, in Yeovil, from 9pm. We understand that there is a genuine passion for good music at this venue, so we are really looking forward to playing there for the first time and hope that our lively approach and eclectic song selection will go down well on the night.

Following that, we will return to the King William Inn (the King Billy) in Glastonbury on Saturday the 15th October from 9pm. The King Billy is rapidly becoming a regular venue for us and each time we play there it just seems to get better and better. Bring it on!

Then on Saturday the 29th October we will be playing once again at the annual Halloween party at the Street Inn, in Street from 9pm. This is definitely a highlight in our calendar and is not to be missed. Each year the Street Inn undergoes an incredible transformation, with most people dressing up in amazing costumes. We will be getting into the spirit by mixing up our usual set with various Halloween themed songs. Can't wait!

A big thank you to Amber and Dave at the Ashcott for the massive effort they went to in hosting the Ashstock beer festival last weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and really appreciate all your hard work.

Apart from The Rhythm Collective playing on Sunday evening, there was live music from a number of other bands including: Twisted Vinyl, Redemption and No Worriz, along with several others.

The weather was relatively good and there was an excellent selection of ales and ciders from all over the country, together with good food and great company.

I hope that the event was a big success for you both and hope that we might be asked back to do it all again next year.

After playing drums with the Rhythm Collective for over 2 years, Ivor Edwards has now relocated to London to further his career in photography. So regrettably he will no longer be able to continue his role as our esteemed drummer. We very much enjoyed Ivor’s company on all our adventures and wish him all the very best for the future.

Our next gig will be at The King William Inn, in Glastonbury, on 16th April from 9pm. Talk about a baptism of fire. "Bring it on!" says Keith.
