Gecko 3

We’ve just had our appearance at this year’s Knockengorroch World Ceilidh confirmed for the Saturday (May 23rd) so clearly we’re pretty excited about that. You can get more details and buy tickets from www.knockengorroch.org.uk When we know our stage time we’ll pass it

Just a quick update: as predicited, the official website is now functioning: http://www.kelburngardenparty.com It’s the only place you can get yourself one of thelimited number of early bird tickets...

Ah, the summer, even the thought makes you forget the months of darkness and cold and wind and misery and… okay, maybe not forget, but certainly set to one side for a moment...

Happy New Year! Thanks to everyone who brought in the New Year with us at the Departure Lounge - it was a great night. I particularly enjoyed the hundreds of people bawling out the words and jumping around manically to the ska choruses at the end of Auld Lang Syne. It was a great [...]

Another year comes to a close and what better way to celebrate the New Year than partying with Gecko 3? We’re kicking off the 1st second of 2009 with a set at Edinburgh’s coolest club Departure Lounge. This will be an incredible line-up - click the flyer for more details...

If you want to milk the last drops of the weekend, join us at The Scottish Hobo Society tonight in The Bongo Club. Doors at 11pm, £3 entry. Regular club night presented by Gamma Ray and DJ Set from Vic Galloway. 2 Bands on stage after midnight

I realise that the heading aloneis sufficient, really, but as I always say, why use four words when fifty will do? The concept of this has disturbed me since I was forced to buy some because that was all that the shop had left. In what parallel realm do the designers of that product exist [...]

Wow. Those of you who made it to the gig last night will know what I’m talking about. Thanks to Ewan of the Voodoo Roomsfor booking us and to Tom for producing one of the best onstage sound balances we’ve had in a wee while. We had a ball in our support slot and that was [

‘The Drawing Room Sessions’ – a fitting name considering the surroundings. Thanks to everyone at the Graffiti Project (Kelburn Castle) for such a wonderful evening of music and food...

Not that it’s relevant to anything, but I went to see ‘Quantum of Solace’ this week. I was just thinking that it’s weird how every generation gets the Bond it deserves. Daniel Craig’s a greatactor and is a goodBond,but the script can’t run to more than about twenty pages at the outside...

I’ll keep this short and sweet because if I write much more I’m likely to break into full rant, given that somekind people nicked about 55massive slate floor tiles from outside my doorlast night. Thanks guys...

On a lighter note… At a few gigs recently, people have asked whose signature is on my acoustic guitar. I should explain that my guitar is made by Ayers, an Australian luthier...

Sorry to say that our gig at 80 Queen Street this weekend (Saturday 25th) has now been cancelled due to the apparent closure of the venue. We apologise if you had made plans to come and see us.

We are playing a wee private gig in Kelburn Castle next weekend (www.kelburnestate.com). It’ll be the third time we’ve played there and we’ve had a great time on each occasion...

The positive hits just keep on coming. How many hits? ‘More hits than Barry Bonds playing slow pitch in the disabled seniors league,’ as Abdominal would put it. Gecko 3 are delighted to announce that we will be playing the midnight set at the Departure Lounge Hogmanay party...

So, it seems that our big November support slot has now been confirmed! We’re supporting Five Corners on Sunday November 16th in the Voodoo Rooms...

Thanks to everyone who was listening so attentively last night and a special thanks to those of you who bought CDs - we hope you enjoy them!   I thoroughly enjoyed the gig and the set by Cibelle was great: some really novel ideas on how to use loops and some lovely grooves.  For those of you...

Further to Moose’s post on Aug 28th about a wee spot we did in 80 Queen Street, we will be playing a full three sets from 10pm to 1am in 80 Queen Street on Saturday 25th October.  The idea is that we will get one or two fellow musicians and members of Organogel to sit [.

Well, since Moose left so many hints that I should write something (in the inevitable knowledge that Hugh never will) I thought I’d tell you about our upcoming support slots...

There are now more tunes on Gecko3's myspace! Check it out.
