Well obviously Christmas & New year, but what is next for The Raspberry Jam!  We have a very busy festive period and we will be meeting a lot of you on the road this December.  It's been great to meet so many of you & we are extremely grateful that some of you have been to watch us more than once!  We've learnt a few new songs for the Christmas period & we are ready to take them to the road beginning with this Friday.  

Talking about meeting people, we bumped into The Call Centre staff at a charity event, Colin Charvis in Swansea, Phil Bennett at Parc Yr Scarlets, Sam Evans (Big Brother Winner 2013) at a charity event & last but definitely not least we bumped into Lucy Leanne, who was a contestant on everybody's guilty pleasure 'Take me Out'.  Who doesn't love a bit of Paddy?

We have some interesting ideas which hopefully will come together as firm plans in 2014, so please stick with us and keep following our updates.  We are landed that we have over 900 likes on our facebook page & our target to end 2013 is to finish with over 1000 likes by New Years Day!  We also have over 250 followers on twitter,  so we would like to ask you, to please help us by sharing our posts & tweets.

So, The Raspberry Jam are a little late in coming to the world of blogging, but they do say 'Better late than never'!.  Who are they by the way? any ideas? Anyway, the reason for starting to blog is to keep everyone who is interested in The Raspberry Jam a little closer to the action.  We have only been a band for 6 months, but we are so grateful and appreciative to everyone who comes to our gigs on weekends and dances and sings with us.  Faces which started out as unrecognisable have now become friends. So our aim is to tell you all about our rehearsals (when we have them), possibly tease you with song ideas, ask you to recommend song ideas to us, help us all discover new music, let you know how much we enjoyed a gig & more importantly let you know, what new animal Lloyd has added to his Old MacDonald repertoire!! By the way the dying giraffe is now dead! We are not in the re-incarnating business! Anything we can share with you guys about The Raspberry Jam, we will try and get on here. So, I'm going to leave it there for now, but we are gigging a lot this weekend, so there's bound to be plenty of stories to keep you all updated with. Speak soon Dave
