This time last year Ash were still racing the night with the expanded edition of their ‘Race The Night’ album, their highest-charting release for 20 years and a boldly fearsome statement of alt.rocking intent. They headed home for a special Independent Venue Week show in Belfast which was broadcast live on Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6Music show. Then came a BRITs Week show at the 100 Club - unbelievably, their first time at that venue. Summer saw massive crowds at Latitude and in various parks alongside the likes of Embrace and Ocean Colour Scene, and the autumn saw an Australian tour.

Apart from that? Oh, just some intensely magical work on a brand new album. More news soon…
