Jon Greenough is back. The Disco Students guitarist from 1980-82+ returns to the cause.
Our first rehearsal with the new line-up will be soon.

One thing that has crossed my mind as I write this blog is "Does anyone actually read this?"
Perhaps, as an experiment you'd email me at simonred@msn.com and just say, "Yeah- I do".
Well, I've got the test pressing from the CD company - and it sounds good. There's a few bits and pieces to finish on the cover, then "9-8/9/10/11" will be ready for release.

We're a man down. After the performance at POP on Tuesday night, Kevin our guitarist told me he was leaving the group.
You've picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
We have the Live in New York CD ready for release next week, and plans are already being made for the recording of "Most Handsome Man On TV" and "Mark E Smith's Dead" as well as "The Homecoming" gig in Aylesbury on 7th January.
Initially, I was in two minds what to do - to pull the plug on The Disco Students and call it a day? Or say "Bollocks - let's get on with it".
I have chosen the latter.
We had always said if one of us felt they needed a break - that would be fine - we'd simply put the Disco Students on the back burner for a few weeks.
It is such a bloody waste - all the work, money and time we've all put in to write the new material and hone it into a tight, energetic set.
But there we are - The Disco Students will continue!!

There's a bit of a hold up regarding the pressing of the new CD. The people in Scotland who are working on it are all down with flu and lost voices. Oh well, I'm sure they'll soon be cured and things will be working normally again. We play at POP in Soho Street tomorrow night - Tuesday 2nd November. We return a month after a 3 man DS had to make excuses and leave.
