May proved to be a varied and very busy month for the band, with everything from weddings to corporate events, charity black tie evenings to festivals for 10,000 Dutch fans, Barmitzvahs to Hamburg’s annual city harbour festival - Hafengeburtstag. May once again demonstrated the Bogus Brothers versatility ensuring we are the right band for any occasion.

Bogus Brothers are pleased to announce they have now been confirmed to perform at the biggest celebrity event to take place in Ireland this year.Brian O’Driscoll has booked the band to perform at his wedding in July, after a recommendation from Eddie Jordan. Brian and his wife to be were knocked out when they came to see the Bogus Brothers at a secret gig in Dublin.

It’s been a busy old time through the festive season and into 2010 - a lot of parties to endure. These have mostly been in and around the Leeds area, which was good as the new ice-age in the UK has made travelling any further a pretty scary prospect.

Tim ‘Posh Bogus’ Loudon the new bass player is settling in well, bringing a new perspective and sense of humour with him. We hope he spends a long and enjoyable time with the band.  We all wish Martin ‘Slej’ Ledger all the best for the future and thanks for all the wonderful times we had with him.

A good couple of days was had in Amsterdam last week and with trips to Prague and Hamburg happening soon, there’s plenty to look forward to. Our highlight of the month was an appearance on the pitch at half-time in the Birmingham City v Manchester United game! A bizarre situation, where there was no time to set up properly so we basically had to run on the pitch and mime to a couple of tracks we’d recorded earlier in the week at Rairview studios in Hull with the wonderful John Spence engineering.  Oh, and there was a second gig to get to after that at the ICC in Birmingham - a pretty full day!

Here’s to a busy and successful 2010!

The lads were pleased to be asked to play at half time for the Man United vs. Birmingham match in January. After performing ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’ and ‘500 Miles’ to rapturous applause the band had the pleasure of meeting Sir Alex when he was caught short at the start of the second half.
