Gig: 26th Mar - North Nibley Village Hall

Ton Up


Macaroni Penguins next gig will be at Nibley Music Night at North Nibley Village Hall on Friday 26th March. The event starts at 7:30pm. Tickets are available in advance for £3.

This gig is particularly interesting for a couple of reasons. Firstly it will be Macaroni Penguins 100th Gig. Yes, in just over fifteen short years we have managed to clock up one hundred gigs. Secondly we will be playing this gig without Mike, our usual guitarist (who has a better offer that evening). Liz will be donning a guitar for the evening and helping out Mark while the rest of us will be watching (and listening) with interest for the guitar solos.

Update [2009-11-26]: *** This gig has been cancelled by the venue. Sorry. ***

Macaroni Penguins next gig is at The Barrel Inn, St Mary St., Thornbury on 28th November 2009. We'll be on from 9pm.

If things work out well we may be playing a couple of new songs at this gig.

This will be our first time playing at this venue, so please come along and support us!

Macaroni Penguins are featured in the official Snodfest 2009 video.

There is video (but no audio) of Penguin induced crowd frenzy at 1:42 - 1:47 and there are stills of the band at 2:15 and 2:24.

Snodfest 2009

Macaroni Penguins will be returning to the wilds of deepest, darkest Worcestershire to play at Upton Snodsbury Music Festival 2009 on Sunday, 19th September 2009 at Upton Snodsbury Park.

I understand we will be finishing off the festival again this year (or headlining as we like to think of it), and that the festival itself is due to close at 9:30 pm. So I would expect we will be playing from about 8:30 pm, but I will provide more details as soon as I get them. Or keep an eye on the festival's own website for updates (snodfest.com).

Update [2009-09-18]: Macaroni Penguins are scheduled to play from 9:10pm to 10:00pm.

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

The traditional festival/monsoon season is upon us, and Macaroni Penguins first engagement is to play at the 2009 Dursley Rugby Club Beer Festival on 6th June 2009. We are scheduled to be closing the festival (how could anyone follow us?) between 8:30pm and 11pm. Tickets are £5, see the web site for more details.

The current weather forecast for the area is, err, not particularly good, but I'm assured we will be playing under cover, so do come along, sample the beer, drown your sorrows and maybe yourself if the weather gets worse.

Also - if we can work out how to connect it all up - this gig will be the first outing for our new PA system, especially purchased to give Tim's bottom end a bit more oomph!
