SAM POWER JOINS 3FN!!! Teesside's top young drummer Sam Power has joined 3 Foot Ninja after playing a blistering set at short notice / no rehearsal at the Jamm at the Tavern in Middlesbrough. Two rehearsals and the Ninjas played 2 x 45 minute sets at the Pier Inn in Whitby on 23rd September 2007. Catherine has had to put gigging aside to concentrate on her new A-level studies and regretfully left the band in August. All the very best in your studies Cath - no doubt we'll see you at Guisborough jam at the Black Swan from time to time! Cath will be sitting in on a couple of tunes at O'Grady's, Redcar on the Friday 5th October for a farewell performance. Thanks Cath for some great sessions. Sam is dedicated to drumming and is determined to help consolidate 3 Foot Ninja's growing reputation. CATHERINE JOINS 3FN We're pleased to announce we've got a brand new drummer! Catherine Kelly from Middlesbrough has joined us to replace Josh who left in 2006 to pursue other commitments. Catherine has been with us now for a couple of months, and we've been recording a new single, released Friday 3rd August. We'd like to thank Ash from We Start Fires, Sean from Panda Lasagne, Alex, Roly & Nobby for filling in on drums whilst we auditioned a permanent replacement.
