We have just received our official SXSW showcase show. We will be playing at Pecan St. Ale House on Wednesday, March 15. More shows to follow.

A massive thanks to everyone who came along last night and made it a truly memorable evening. Our Valentines covers went down really well and kept Amy busy running around playing every instrument possible! Click here to see some beautiful photos taken by Hugh MacDonald.

Afternoon everyone! The Battersea Barge gig was great fun last night, we just about managed to pull off a decent half hour set with just a 4 piece of Violin, Cello, acoustic guitar and percussion... it sounded great! And what a great venue too, we will hopefully be back there soon, if you haven't been before... go there soon, it's lovely!

One last reminder about our Valentines Day Gig tomorrow, it's at the Metro Club, 19-23 Oxford Street (Tottenham Court Road end). It's £5 to get in and support comes from Ghost, Screamer On The Hill and Urban Myth Club... it's gonna be a great night, forget about taking your other half to a posh, fancy, expensive restaurant for Valentines Day... bring them to The Metro Club for an evening of beautiful songs...

See you tomorrow, Amy & Paris Motel. xxx
