Round Trip was formed collectively in September 2007 by myself, Tom Challenger, Tom Farmer and Josh Morrison through having a few plays and doing a couple of gigs at such venues as The Con Cellar Bar, Camden Town, London and The Wardrobe, Leeds.
Everything and everyone seemed to be agreeing on all levels so, I decided to put a tour together in November 2007 with view to touring in May 2008.
The result of a lot of phone calls, emails and stress resulted in a 19 date UK tour which started and finished in London but, which also took the band up to Scotland, through the north of England, Wales, the midlands and the south east.
We had a blast and will hopefully be going in to the studio around early July.
Watch this space for audio and video clips of the bands many adventures around the UK…..
