4th - Courtesy noun; "a courteous, respectful, or considerate act or expression."
Something the new owners of The Parkway obviously don't have. The band turned up to the pub tonight expecting to play but were told that the new owners have cancelled all live music. It would be the courteous thing to do, but no, they don't do such things.
Ah well, another place we won't be visiting.

1st - First off this year we would like to welcome into the shoes of Hush guitarist Dave Thorne.
We've had a couple of rehearsals so far and all is going well. After a short break for Christmas we will be back rehearsing hard for the first gig of the year in February.

11th - Last night was Taka's last gig with Hush, and what a night it was. A rather full Trout had a very good time and marked the end of the Hush year in a great evening.
It's been a fun year and three quarters - good luck in your future musical exploits!
10th - There should be some news very soon in the next chapter of Hush guitarists...

20th - Hush returned to Warminster last night for another great night of dancing (from the audience, not the band!). Hopefully we'll see you all again soon.
19th - Unfortunately due to work commitments we are having to say goodbye to Taka. Despite his short tenure in the guitar position he has made a lasting impression on us all. His last gig with us will be at The Trout on the 10th December, which also coincides with the last gig for 2011 so if you're free, pop along. We are now in the process of auditioning guitarists ready for The Parkway on the 4th February. Watch this space.
