So 2018 was nicely wrapped up for us with a little bonus from the team over at Bands FC (www.bandsfc.com) They chose us for the Bands FC 'treatment' and made us a crest based upon our local club Chadderton FC. We are really made up about this, we have badges for sale on the website and hopefully some other related merch on the way.

Over at the British Music Experience, there is currently a Bands FC exhibition running so we thought it might be a good idea to carry out some guerilla marketing by having a print made. We did and we sneaked it into the exhibition, thankfully our plan was well received and we might be part of future exhibitions now. the exhibition closes on the 13th Jan, well worth a trip as the BME is great place for music fans.

Gig wise, we've a nice Manchester headliner coming up on the 23rd March, tickets on sale here https://www.musicglue.com/ticketalien/events/f683ab31bc0b9b8c/cf4c1650-df7d-0136-8cc1-06413e3980b6

We've also got an IVW show at The Snug, Atherton on 1st Feb and our first show of the year is at the Department S Club night at The Lanes, Bristol and in association with Pretty Green. We're on the bill with Sapphire Blues, should be a great night.

Keep an eye on our website www.dirtylaces.band for gig and merchandise announcements as we've loads coming off.
