Until the big night on January 21st we’re working very hard to get all the pieces in place to make it an excellent gig! Tickets are going fast (so if you want some of the Limited £4 ones you’d better get in quick) and rehearsals with our new line-up are going very well!

In the meantime we will be promoting the gig this Thursday when we return to Brighton’s Juice 107.2FM and their Damo and Ace show. Our two previous sessions on the show have been great fun, and you may even get to hear from one or two of our new members....so tune in to Juice 107.2FM at 9pm on Thursday (or listen online at www.juicebrighton.com).

(You can hear the first of our previous visits to Juice at our website – lesvalentine.com/music.html)

Beat The Mix

Another reason we have been invited to Juice FM this Thursday is because of our continued success in the chart at www.beatthemix.co.uk. As you know, we won the Christmas number 1 prize. Since then we have also been lucky enough to win the following two weeks’ votes too!

Thank you everyone for voting. The contest finally ends on January 31st, so please keep texting ‘Mix 339’ to 83070 – only a little while to go and we’re out in front in the overall competition at the moment, so anyone who can help us consolidate our position would be much appreciated.

Our victories over the last three weeks and resultant rise to the top of the leader board have also secured us another spot on Beat The Mix’s ITV Local programme, so watch this space for when you can peep that. Until then check out the videos at www.youtube.com/lesvalentine and let us know what you think!

Les Valentine’s Day

In another new experience for us, we are in the midst of organising a gig at the Hare & Hounds venue in Brighton on February 14th. It will be called ‘Les Valentine’s Day’ and all proceeds will be going to British Heart Foundation. There will be plenty more news on this in the coming weeks, but suffice to say we’re looking forward to it loads and it will feature some great live Brighton acts we have got to know in our time gigging.

We have also added another gig to our schedule, as we have confirmed another charity gig at the Joogleberry Playhouse on the 19th February. More news on this as we get it.

Beat The Mix update – text ‘Mix 339’ to 83070

Given the above, there’s not much more to say here as it’s pretty much covered. However we would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to everyone who has voted for us since we entered the competition.

We’re aware that many of you have voted, some of you a number of times (you know who you are) so thank you very much for that. Not long left now!
