We're all very looking forward to playing the Beached festival, says Digsy. I'm looking forward to meeting some of the regions other bands that we've heard on the radio, looking forward to seeing some familiar faces in the audience as I think there's a few of our friends and supporters going to be there. It will be one of the bigger stages we've played so far so that's very exciting and will set us up for Leeds the following week. If we're nervous about anything it's whether the van will break down on the way there and whether the sun will shine.

He also added that the band were looking forward to sampling some fish and chips! I fancy some of those hot sugary doughnuts myself, they always go down well.
