Essex village relaxes embargo on swan welfare whistleblowers Dingus Khan. Pensioners and small children are treated to bludgeoning live set at Mistley Family Fun Day.
The Dingus Khan 'Adopted' mini-tour kicks off in Norwich, to support the release of their new single on antigen records. Betraying our predictably uncoordinated approach to marketing, the 7" will not be available until the tour is over.

In keeping with our slack attitude to deadlines, this will be released in March or April or sometime. Update: Or possibly March or April 2015.
Rory and Ned follow up the launch of new album Fighting Music with run of live dates in the South East. This is another great opportunity to witness the trendsetting dance moves of Ned Rundell. On 7 July, he treated the audience at the Oak to some obviously well-practised white boy twerking. His mum looked a bit concerned, but the old men at the bar loved it.
At long last - it's the official launch of Fighting Music, the new album by Rory and Ned. And it's being launched in style with a massive party at Mello Mello in Liverpool. This party has everything you could possibly want from an indoor event...
