2nd December 2002: Well, keep your orders for the EP coming in, there is a slight delay though due to problems with printing of the inlays (stupid mac) but don't worry. It costs a mere £2 so you have no excuse! Leanne's party concert was funny, hmm, i wasn't feeling too brill though (Gary) but i think i managed to hide it quite well...so now, its back to fezz's garage of many strange smells and sights to work on some new material, that will get added to the music section when its recorded, along with samples from the EP, when they get put up, i.e when i get my hands on a copy.

7th November 2002: The debut EP, Cease Primate has been confirmed to be released on the 25th November, at about £1-£2. But do not be alarmed, for this price you get a high quality CD with 5 great tracks, and a very nice cover, inlay and back cover! All worth it! To order your copy now, please don't hesitate to ask a band member, we are very apporachable!

27th October 2002: Lodgefest is all over, and FourPlays first gig went very well, many thanks to stand-in drummer Alex Dow and also Kevins family for letting us ruin their house. The Pictures from the even have been added to the site, but some fool forgot to switch on Dominic's microphone so the set was not recorded. Alas. So for now its back to the garage to work on the EP some more and to prepare for the next concert, Leanne's 17th Birthday Bash.

13th October 2002: Some gigs have been added to the gigs page (of all pages) for FourPlays upcoming, including hopefully our first headlining gig, only in some hall, but still. The audio for the EP is well underway, hopefully it might be availible to coincide with LodgeFest 2002.

15th September 2002: Gaz here, been lost at sea (internet broken) but we are back now. we should be working on the EP hopefully next week if all goes well, it is well on course for the autumn release. and adhams was cancelled.

20th August 2002: Well we lied about the ice thing, FourPlay have been confirmed to play their first ever live performance on the 27th August at Adham's party! Unfortunately, you need an invite to come watch, but should be fun. We are on first, so if you are coming, make sure you are on time!

19th July 2002: Some new pictures have been uploaded from a band practice a while ago, admittedly i have had a haircut since then (Gaz). A few more rehersals should take place, then due to holidays throughout August, the band and site will probably be put on ice until september, when we shall resume our antics.

30th June 2002: Some new luxuries for you, a chat room and a mailing list are availible, havent tested them yet though. the problem with the lost mp3s and pictures will be resolved soon, so don't you fret!

28th June 2002: A lot of the elements of this site (older recordings, older pics from band rehersals etc) have had to be removed because i got a very sinister angelfire email. they said the website had exceeded its web space and if nothing was done in 30 days, they would delete the whole thing! d'oh! i am currently searching for a service provider that gives you more than 20Megs of space, cos we have so many mp3s around, which are taking up a hella load of space. didnt have time to tidy up broken links yet, so do not moan and whine if something your looking for isn't there!

14th June 2002: Another band practice today, not the most constructive of practices (Laura was grounded), but we have a new recording of Cease Primate. We also decided to cover a very silly song. Both these can be found in the discography section.

1st June 2002: Well, we have been quite a busy band, a wide batch of songs are availible for listening on our music page. But because Laura (our singer) was not availible for the whole practice, we only recorded summer rain with her voice. one other song has fezz singing and the rest are like instrumentals that will be improved in time for our gigs over summer. Pics from the practice will go up soon, and a new webpoll is on its way for this month.

23rd May 2002: Exciting stuff, boys and girls! The gig known as B2002, is going to be on either the 30th or 8th July 2002 (thats like 2 months from now!) Hopefully the 30th though. The venue will be (hopefully) winston Churchill Hall, and it will be really good! Keep checking back cos there will be a lot of news for the next however long it takes to finish organising. More info can be found on the concerts section. Not much more on the Haydon front though, we will keep you posted!

6th May 2002: Bank holiday Monday today, and we had a band practice (unfortunately minus Laura). However, we managed to get a lot of musical work done, bringing FourPlay's song count to a whopping seven! FourPlay will also be playing in Haydon's Summer Rock concert, information about that can be found on the concerts section on the sidebar. Another thing, FourPlay are now arranging B2002, which should be interesting. So if you are a member of one of the B2002 bands, please submit holiday dates soon to make the date easier to arrange. The recordings from today probably wont' go up, due to the extreme quietness of them, however.

20th April: wow, haven't done this in a while! yesterday saw the FourPlay boys have band practice with their all new SINGER, who is apparently going to be a temp singer, until we find a male singer. This is because it is that lovely GIRL, Laura "Elljay" Hallett. Although she doesn't know that she is our full time singer, cos everyone loves her and no one in their right mind would sing for FourPlay. And also, i have started work on a Lanzarote page, based on the school's travels there. Some of these pics have been added to the FourPlay archives, but all the others can be found on this tangent site. to see the new pics, visit the Pics site

28th March 2002:It was finally the end of term for the FourPlay boys (last school in the bloody borough) and also, there has been an update on this years event, B2002. It is likely the bands will play out Fountains Mill on a jam night, followed by a second, bigger gig in a different venue. B2002 will be the gig of the year, according to some.

24th March 2002: We had another band rehearsal today, and mike came too!!!, and got a few new bits written down, though not recorded. Some more recordings were done, and these ones are not horribly quiet! go to discography to see! other activities at band practice included eating undercooked pizza and exploding an egg in fezz's microwave. and also, the pictures have been categorised too! it has been a busy weekend for the FourPlay boys! There may be one more rehearsal before gaz, mike and fezz depart for lanzarote over easter holidays.

10th March 2002: Well, the guestbook and webpoll are finally back to their original state, although the webpoll's stats have been reset, so come on everyone, vote in it, cos there is no way fezz was the best knight! also, today is mother's day, have a good one!

3rd March 2002: The guestbook and webpoll are currently down due to an unforseen problem at bravenet, the site that powers these features. For more information, go to Bravenet's site. hopefully, the problem will not last too long and the guetbook will be back to normal in the not too distant future.

28th February 2002: Some new pictures have been added to the band's site, from previous band practices. We need to take some newer ones, we will get right on it! Oh yeah, and the poll for march is up, u can get to it by clicking Here. and also, the rock concert from last night was good.

21st February 2002:  There was jubilation in the streets as the new FourPlay site was finally launched. But by Gaz, cos he was bored and decided to. So there we are. Some of the crappy stuff is gone, and good stuff is here, as good as ever.

20th February 2002- FourPlay had their very first band practice with a drum kit today, which is good news. 2 whole songs were recorded, which are availible for listening on the site, and will most likely be on a future EP. Stay tuned for more news!
