Last ever show at Glastonbury.

Hello all.

We are sad to announce the demise of Good Books.

It’s been a fantastic few years, but the world keeps turning, and in the massively original words of Wet Wet Wet, ‘They say all good things come to an end’. We do, however, have one rather special date in the diary before we shut up shop - we’ll be playing the opening slot on the John Peel Stage on the Sunday morning at Glastonbury, the 28th of June. If you’re coming to the festival, come along and bid farewell to Good Books with the four of us.

All that remains is to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s been a part of this trip - our families, Anna, Ollie, Angus, Janine, and so many others. There will of course be more noise from the four of us in various guises in the future. Already JP is music making and remixing under the guise of JOCKS (Tumblr), and Christopher is playing bass for Klaus Says Buy The Record. We’ll be sure to let you know more when you need to know. But for now, once again, thank you.

Yule:

Sitting in my room, with a glass of warm flat champagne, listening to the new Good Books album. It has been a silly year, I think. But nicely off-the-map; if you’d asked me on the 2nd of January 2008…

Just played Proud. Thanks to everyone who came out. It was fun.

We’ve been keeping it under our collective hat, but we’re playing at RoTa on Saturday at Notting Hill Arts Club, for Clash Magazine. The lovely Johnny Foreigner are playing too, and it’s free. Ergo, you should come.

The studio version of ‘Manifesto’ is Track of the Day on Clash’s website tomorrow too, fresh off the mixing desk. Will post a link when it’s live…

It’s a bit like when you were little, and the guy in your year who was always a prick to you is being picked on by a guy two years above. You understand that it’s not fair, that no-one should really…
