Hello Twang fans.
I don’t usually do things like this but wanted to share something with you.
This is my wife Sarah, she died in April after a two year battle with bowel cancer.
Didn’t realise fox hunting is on the rise. What an idiotic thing to do on Boxing Day. Dress up like a twat and chase a scared little animal round a field with a pack of dogs. Shameful. Jon

Been a strange couple of weeks but I got nothing but love for this man and it is what it is kids.. he wants out, and we want in, it’s as simple as that.. What I can promise you is I’ll be tryin to make these shows in December as big and loud and bouncy as ever.. It’s all love Px

We all need a shoulder every now and then.. Tag someone who’s been there for you over the last few months.
Stay free kids x
I know a lot of folk on here think we only made 1 album.. the one with the crack fox on the front (the one mighty boosh copied) but before all covid madness we released our 5th - If Confronted Just Go Mad & it’s fuckin great
Give it a listen. All love Px
Shitty tale about this vid - along w/ loads of other artists had our vids taken down from YouTube due to a dispute between Warners & YT in 2008
They re uploaded it & reset the views to zero. This & Either Way on about a million plays at the time. Fuckers
Been playing Raquetball with Gaz for the past year and really grew to like him. He beat me every week aged 63. 🙄
Gutted at the news of his passing. RIP Gaz.x J
Happy 9th birthday - Jewellery Quarter.
Heres a little film of the artwork being created by our good friend

Saunds was living with me and going through it a bit and i remember going in his room and playing him the first couple of verses to this idea and he just spat the whole chorus at me there and then. like fuckin magic it was..

Either Way (The Streets Remix)
I didn’t know Skinner was even doing this remix so when I woke up in the Jurys Inn, Shoreditch one morning very much in need of some more sleep & a bloody Mary our manager Jackie told me to put these headphones on..
We’re A Crowd released 7 years ago today. We filmed the vid on the rooftops of a building in the Jewellery Quarter and it’s the only Twang video to feature Mr
@BazFratelli
on bass. Still always one of the first songs on our set list..
Loved hearing Wide Awake on the snooker coverage. Don't know who keeps playing our tracks on
@itvsnooker
but if ya want to come to a show drop us a DM 👊🎱
#WorldGrandPrix
It’s been a tour I’ll never forget for many reasons. One being that I truly realise how lucky we are to be doing this & that how every show could easily be our last.
If for some reason I should leave ya. Hope the things I did for ya pleased ya.

I normally try and go away glasto weekend as it’s a hard watch trying to contain my jealousy of bands got to play there a number of times. It was such a moment when we done it , maybe one day they’ll have us back on the farm. Fingers crossed and all that.

Yes kids.. Just wanted to say a massive 🙌🏻 to everyone who came and watched us over the last few weeks.. I know it’s still pretty strange out there for a lot of folk but every night felt magical in its own right and as always that was down to you lot so thank you.
