Secret Happenings
#22 | 3rd feb 2010
I thought it was a bit silly to still have a Christmas message at the top of this page now that it's February. Stitch-Stitch things have seemingly gone a little quiet at the moment, but I can promise you that there are lots of amazing records that are nearly finished and due to come out in 2010.
The photos at the top are the contact sheet of pictures taken by Tom Cops at Oxjam last year, and feature a good proportion of people involved with stitch-stitch past and present.
Happy Christmas!

Stitch-Stitch at Oxjam:Bath
#19 | 12th oct 2009
Oxjam is the annual national festival which raises money for Oxfam. This year Oxjam:Bath have invited us to be a part of their festival, and as a result there is an entire venue dedicated to stitch-stitch bands!
Through some kind of magical good fortune, nearly every band on stitch-stitch will be playing! Entry is included in the entire festival, which costs £10.
I've created a little mini website for our part of the festival, which contains all the information you might need.

Also exciting are two upcoming releases from Frànçois & the Atlas Mountains and I Know I Have No Collar, and the small UK tour to support them.
