9 December 05:47:47	Last Friday's gig at Platform 9 in Guildford, which was cancelled because of intervention by the police - that's the local constabulary rather than Sting and the boys - has been re-arranged for Friday 30th Jan 2009.   Platform 9
8 December 06:49:58	Sorry if you turned up to last Friday's gig and had a wasted journey. We are now working with the techies to provide a new feature so that anyone who wants can be kept in touch at all times via CBFCS - the new Chris Braid Fanbase Communications System.
8 December 06:43:48	Last Friday's gig was cancelled at short notice due to circumstances beyond my control. Platform 9 was apparently closed last Wednesday by the police because of substance issues. We tried to notify as many fans as we could.

2 October 04:35:21	Now recovered from Saturday's gig. 125 people saw the new line-up for the first time. They sounded amazing. We're all looking forward to the next one.
25 September 06:17:37	American company called Quickstar Productions want to use 'Honest Way' on a compilation CD in The States. Checked them out on Harmony Central - doesn't look good.   Harmony Central

4 September 04:43:41	We're on Orange UnsignedAct and so, it seems, is just about every other band in the UK. Vote, vote, vote for us!  Chris Braid on Orange Unsigned Act
3 September 07:00:48	We kick off our autumn schedule on 27 Sept at The Star, Guildford 8 p.m. onwards, £3 on the door. If I can keep the Smith Brothers, aka the the Bruise Brothers from killing each other before the gig, it should make for an explosive performance.
3 September 05:52:35	Chris Braid and his hot new line up are coming to a town near you, as long as you live near Guildford. We've kept the hairy bloke on guitar, and as if one Smith brother wasn't enough, we've recruited two of his younger brothers on bass and drums.
3 September 05:49:22	Braid is back! Reports in rock circles that Braid had 'crashed and burned' are wide of the mark. Braid is bigger and better then ever.
2 September 10:46:32	Stressed out at the moment - too much pressure from work, the music and everything else. I'll start posting again as soon as things calm down. Check back soon!
27 August 15:40:55	Just come across Bandstocks, a new site which links investors with musicians who can come up with an album.   Bandstocks
26 August 16:40:41	Had a rehearsal over the long weekend - just an hour or so but it sounded good.
22 August 10:17:11	Moonfest is cancelled after the police managed to ban Pete Doherty because his music "gees up the crowd." According to The Bill, Babyshambles "speed up and then slow down the music and create a whirlpool effect in the crowd."  Moonfest
21 August 11:13:56	The rest has been great but I'm now really looking forward to gigging again. 'The Bruise Brothers' sound great but we're still looking for a rhythm guitarist.
