A nice review!

Of the Weekend at the Asylum and briefly of the Cogkneys from the Steampunk Chronicle.

Huzzah!

Whitby Alt Fest!


Are you coming to the Whitby Alt Fest this year? If so, we'd love to see you at The Rifle Club on Friday night for 'The Major's Soiree', where The Cogkneys will perform an almost completely but not quite new act! Audience participation! A Cockney Singalong! Spooky songs! Innuendo! 
And there'll be other entertanment in the form of inimtable form of Count Rostov's comedy, as well as a quiz (I think). Cheapest bar in Whitters, too!

Arthur Foot - Poet of Note!

Have written a couple of poems recently - I might well 'launch' one or possibly both of them at Whitby this year. Oooooh! I can tell you that one of the poems is called 'The Mysterious Green Potion' and is a sort of homage to Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde!
And it's all fodder for the possible upcoming book  -  Ribald For Your Pleasure!

Back from the madhouse!

Well, we're back from another stormingly good weekend at The Asylum Steampunk Convivial! Getting to swan about in nice clothes, go for drinks/lovely meals with wonderful, make new friends and see old ones - what could be better?

Oh yes! Also getting to see great musical acts such as The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing (eagerly awaiting their new album), Sunday Driver, Professor Elemental and Mr B. The Gentleman Rhymer, as well as greatly enjoying the inimitable Count Rostov's superb radio play (and his naughty little play in the Soiree!)

The Cogkneys performed a brand new act (twice!) in the Major's Soiree on Friday, and it was lovely to be on the same bill as the aforementioned Count (accompanied by the lovely Lady M), Kit Cox (the time travelling comedian), Dr. Quack and Andrew O' Neill (FLIES!) as well as the Major himself.

Splendid!

A selection of iconographs can perused here... Pictures!

If you missed us in the Soiree, or you'd like to revisit the 'genius' of our act (not my words, but those of our audience), here's the whole thing. Lawks!

Less than a week to THE ASYLUM!

Rehearsing like a pair of crazy rehearsing fools! Looking forward to performing a particular 98 year old song, should be funny! Lots of buttock related humour in this year's act...
