Tom Henry quits Knackers!
Following Knackers full band show in Keswick on 10 June 2006, Tom Henry, founder member of Knackers, has announced he is to leave the band after 19 years.
We wish Tom all the very best and hope that he will one day rejoin us for a few numbers (even) further down the line. Until then, good luck Tom, and we look forward to seeing you soon without our instruments!

@ Strawberry Fair 04/06/05
We really enjoyed our first gig in 9 months
on Strawberry Fair's Wigwam stage. Great to play the new original tunes live and to see so many people
enjoying them. We raced through Papa B, Bim, Damson Gin, Strawberry Ska, Ragada
Gagada, East Infection and Out In Front - a few inevitable wobbles
in places, but all'n'all the vibe was just right and the rain
held off til the very last number.
Special thanks to Mike
Doris for helping us out on trombone
standing in for Dan.
The Wam crew did a great job too, and we
heard the sound was great out in front - big thanks to Sabir,
Doog and all. We shifted a load of CDs - if you bought one we
hope you love it, and thanks for supporting us.

We are currently
writing our first album of original material, which we will record in
the spring.
In the bag so far are the tunes Papa B Skank, Bim!, Come Down Rocky, Ragada Gagada Knack, Damson Gin, Rowan's Reel, Knackers - Out in Front, and the Knack Lament, with more to come.
We're also putting out the feelers for a series of summer shows, which will be our first based around original tunes. It's only taken us 15 years, but its gonna be worth it!
