Apologies for the website downtime!

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Apologies for the website and e-mail downtime, someone let the domain name lapse – oops! If you’ve sent any emails to an @christt.com address in the past day or two and they’ve bounced then please resend, they should get through fine now. Sorry ’bout that!

Paypal Shop online now / MiniFest gig confirmed

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Our new online shop using Paypal is up and running, so you don’t have to write out cheques anymore. It’s swish and secure as anything, which is great news. Go to Shop to buy stuff.

There’s been a couple more gig confirmations over summer. Chris T-T & The Hoodrats (new bandname its official!) will play MiniFest at Trowbridge Civic Hall and support Fighting With Wire and Frank Turner in Kingston, both in August. Check the Gigs page for details.

Finally nice one Nathan who shot some phonecam footage of solo stuff at 2000 Trees. Love it, it’s up on the Chris T-T Facebook page (scroll down for fan vids) and probably Youtube somewhere as well.

MINIFEST Trowbridge Civic Hall, UK

Sat 16th August, 2008
5:00 pmto11:00 pm

Chris T-T & The Hoodrats have been added to the bill of this terrific Fightstar-headlined rockout two-stage all-dayer. Chris will also play piano for Frank Turner at the same event.

Hoodrats bassist Johny will be playing two festivals in one day, because his Drift Collective will be playing at Green Man in the early afternoon, before he drives back across the Severn to perform with Chris at MiniFest.

KINGSTON New Slang at McClusky’s, UK

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

7:30 pmto10:30 pm

New Slang hosts a special one-off Reading Festival warm-up with:
Frank Turner (full band) + Fighting With Wire + Chris T-T & The Hoodrats. 

For the first and probably only time, Chris will attempt to perform a full band set and then play piano in the Frank Turner band at the same show. Nuts. Kick-arse lineup though - don’t miss this one. McClusky’s is on Riverside Walk by Kingston Bridge.

2000 TREES FESTIVAL, UK

Friday, July 4th, 2008
Sat 12th July, 2008
2:00 pmto4:00 pm

An early afternoon solo performance on the acoustic stage at this fun little fest. Chris agreed to play as a fill-in for a cancellation, because he’s already there playing piano in Frank Turner’s band.

Confirmed for 2000 Trees

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I’m confirmed for an acoustic set at 2000 Trees Festival next weekend. It’s a great bill (though they can’t spell ‘Chris’ apparently!) and I’ll score extra quids by thumping piano for Frank Turner on the main stage. Nice.
