News
Heavy Love Video
Work has begun on the video. We just about survived shooting in the freezing conditions. Watching Jan’s nose turning ever bluer as the day went on was intriguing. Weather permitting we should be finishing it off on the 2nd down in Brighton. Having seen some of the footage already done, we’re excited about the finished result.
272 Records
The Powerpop Overthrow compilation album is now out, and mighty fine it is too. The record has been sent to 25 California College Radio stations listed below. Shirley fans can request ‘Heavy Love’ to be played. If you’re in the States or know anyone who could put a call in for us, we’d be grateful for the exposure.

A lot of People have been asking us...
Where we rehearse. The emphatic answer is at The Coldroom in the picturesque village of Cumnor, just outside Oxford. We were lucky enough to collar local legend Richard Willoughby, who took over the studio a few years ago and transformed it from its ramshackle state to the fine facility of today, for a quick interview :-
Q1) Apart from having Shirley rehearse at your facility, what have been the main highlights during your tenure?
A1) Everyday has its own highlights. But I would have to say, seeing the look on some of the younger bands' faces when they bump into people like Gaz from Supergrass who come along to rehearse, is priceless.
Q2) In your opinion, how big a part did Coldroom rehearsals play in creating the incredible 'Vintage' album?
A2) Well, providing an inspiring atmosphere for the guys to let their creative juices flow, as well as my services as a comic genius, must have been of some relief.
Q3) What particularly niggles you about running the Cold Room?
A3) Nothing really, if I had to say anything it would be the stunning countryside that surrounds the studios, that can really bring you down.
Q4) What vision do you have for the future?
A4) Seriously? My vision for the future is to have more coldroom studios across the land, making a family of studios where musicians can wander free in their own habitat.
Q5) Was your penchant for wearing cravats inspired by Johnny P?!
A5) Maybe... JP, as I like to call him, has inspired me in so many diverse and obscure ways over the years.
Do I get money for this........??????..........???????
Sorry Rich, funds are a little depleted due to making our video, however we are proud to include you in our top friends on myspace. An honour bequeathed on a lucky few!
