As we head into the new spring/summer season 2010/2011 it's vital that we keep the setlist fresh, varied and exciting. With that in mind, we've added a few belters in the last week or so that should go down a treat. The 'best of Brithish' gets an airing with the Verve's 'Bittersweet Symphony' and the La's classic 'There She Goes'. The cheese lovers amongst you should be happy with the additions of 'Simply the Best' and 'One and Only' and we've even stuck a Genesis classic in there with 'I Can't Dance'. If you have any ideas of songs that we should play, please e mail me at info@meandmrbrown.com and we'll take a look at any ideas that you have!

We now have a brand new logo and backdrop! Thanks to our friends at Cafe Roux and Stor-Age who have very kindly sponsored our brand new backdrop. Its HUGE and very, very cool. Also, a big thanks to Lynne Hoskins who designed our new logo- we're so pleased with it. I even managed to take a pretty grainy photo of the new backdrop but it looks much better in real life!

Yes, that's right- Me and Mr Brown have received their first clothing endorsement. The skateboard brand VANS have come on board and have kitted the boys out with shoes, sneakers, t shirts, hoodies and general bits and pieces. Mr Brown in particular enjoyed his trip to the shop floor last tuesday at 'Surf and Turf' opposite Cavendish. There's some awesome stuff there in stock. Many thanks to Chris and his team for sorting that out!

Upcoming Friday gig dates at the awesome Cafe Verdi in Wynberg are confirmed as 27th August. Come and join us at this fun and intimate gig jol.

We strongly recommend booking Me and Mr Brown well in advance! The number of enquiries that we are receiving at the moment is great but quite staggering. Looking at my stats, the average lead time for wedding bookings is just under ten months in advance so book now to avoid dissapointment!

Me and Mr Brown have been booked for a residency slot at The Toad in the Village in Noordhoek where they will be performing every day for the first three weeks of the soccer World Cup and beyond. Bob Skinstad's "The Toad" is the ideal place in watch this sporting extravaganza. As well as the music, Daniel will be offering his insight into the football action with an in-depth analysis of each game. Days and evenings promise much mirth and merriment so pop in and join in the fun. Call 021 789 2473 to book.

Check out a new feature on the website this year, 'Band Diary'.Part tour diary, part news, the day in the life section will give you a humerous behind the scenes insight into what its like being in Me and Mr Brown as they tour the Western Cape and beyond.

Appart from weddings, birthday parties and corporates, you can come and watch us play at our regular showcase gigs in Noordhoek, Cape Town. You can find us at Cafe Roux, Noordhoek Farm Village (021 789 2538) at our main showcase Sunday afternoon slot from 2.30 until....well, until we get too tired!  On Thursdays, you can find us warming up the Toad in the Village, Bob Skinstad's awesome pub/restaurant venue, also in the Noordhoek Farm Village- we play from 7.30pm till late (bookings 021 789 2973)....come party with Me and Mr Brown.

We are nothing if not cutting edge so why not follow us @meandmrbrown on Twitter to keep up to date with what we are up to as well as general musings on music, jaegermeister and life in general.

Every now and then, either Me or Mr Brown find ourselves unable to perform on certain dates due to prior bookings. Into the breach steps in Mr Bill "Billy' Magee. Billy is great on guitar and bass and is the perfect replacement to gig on any occasion. Very often found sipping a bottle or two of Amstel in Noordhoek, Billy is particular strong when it comes to the older hits from the days of yore but he's also more than comfortable playing the Killers and Kings of Leon as he is The Beatles back catalogue.
