April 2008: Martin & Dominick debut gig with Asa Jennings .
Titian veterans Martin & Dominick have teamed up with local singer/songwriter Asa Jennings. Their first gig together will be at the Milestone, Ipswich on 6th April. Check out the website for more dates - www.asajennings.com

January 2008: The end of an era
Titian Red announce the date of their final gig.
Yes, it's official - Titian Red are due to play their final gig at the Milestone, Ipswich, on 1st March 2008. It was a very hard decision to make as we're all such good friends, but the time has come to bring the band to a close. We all have such busy lives nowadays, and finding that extra time between gigs to learn new material and organising rehearsals on evenings that we can all attend has become increasingly more difficult the past few years. Rather than just bumble along playing the same songs gig after gig - with the danger of things sounding stale (for both the audience and ourselves) - we have set a date to say thank you and farewell to you all.
As individuals, we won't be disappearing from the local music scene though. Some of us are already in other bands (Tim & Andrea are in 'The Inflatables'; Todd is in Dirty Trix) and the others may already have a trick or two up their sleeves just waiting in the wings.

We'll post any further details about the farewell gig on this website. As always, we thank you for your support and friendship, and we look forward to seeing you in the near future - either in Titian Red, or any other projects.

November 2007: The end of an era
It's been a tough decision to make, but Titian Red have decided to bow out gracefully from the local music scene. Our last gig will be on 1st March 2008 at the Milestone, Ipswich. We aim to go out with a bang and make this a special evening for all. More details to follow.

August 2007: 10 Years of Titian Red! - Update
As it's such a hard decision to know where to host our celebrations, we've decided to spread the festivities over several gigs! Starting with the Railway (Ipswich) on 1st September and the Milestone (Ipswich) on 21st we'll be blowing the dust off some of your favourite old tracks that we used to play (you'll have to tell us your favourites so we can make sure we include those!) and maybe even try to raise a bit of money for charity - who knows what will happen!
Keep checking the website for further updates...

August 2007: 10 Years of Titian Red!
Our first gig was in September 1997, so we'll be celebrating our 10th anniversary in Ipswich with a gig that will summarise our 10 years as a fun-loving rock/pop covers band.
...And We Need Your Help!
We'd like to invite you look at our setlist page, which has now been updated to include a full list of all the songs we've covered over the last 10 years. If there's any tracks on the list that you'd particularly like to hear us play, please email your suggestions to us.
We haven't decided on the date yet, but it will either be at the Railway (1st Sept) OR the Milestone (21st Sept). We'll let you know as soon as we've decided!

April 2007: Announcing ""

Item Updated 18th September 2006: Neil In Spain: Many of you have been asking how Neil is getting on in Spain, so we have selected a few notes from his emails for you:

15th June 2006: "Hi All. Today is more or less the last day of my course, in that I have no more work to do. The time has gone pretty quickly. This afternoon I will be sampling local culture by the pint while watching England stroll to victory in the world cup. Next week I'm going to Madrid then on to Salamanca for a week to speak English to some doctors for week. (free board and lodgings). Then I think I will come back to Sevilla and look for work if I havent found anything by then. Early next week  I will be going to COrdoba about a teaching job maybe try to get an interview.
It's been hard work but really really good and definitely a great experience. I've met some funny funny people. I've now got a myspace site as of today. There´s not much on it yet but if you sign up for myspace we can leave messages photos and stuff. Just search myspace - you'll get it.
I'll have more time to keep in touch next week!!!!!!
Hasta luego
Neil"

13th July 2006: "Still waiting to hear about the interview, so who knows. Its quite hot during the day here but nice and cool in the evenings. This school is f*****g bonkers. No birds"

21st August 2006: "Buenas! It's been a really busy week. Thursday before last the fiesta started in La Alberca and continued for about 5 days.
In Plaza Mayor in the village they set up a stage and every evening there was a band or orchestra playing. The street was full of people dancing and drinking of all ages. Most nights the dancing and drinking continued until 5am or after. Absolutely crazy. The music was also being played until this time.As it was fiesta most things have,been closed all week, including the internet. In the evenings here it is very cold. During fiesta I was wearing t-shirt, shirt, fleece and a jacket. I also boght myself a scalf. We're 1000 m above sea level . Also last week it rained... A lot. I leave here on 29th August. To where I havent decided yet.
I havent been able to secure myself a job yet but will be looking very hard and telephoning places this week.
This weekend I went to Valladolid and Burgos which was good, more cathedrals and statues. Apparently Burgos has got something to do with El Cid, but I'm not sure what.
It sounds like the airports in GB are a bit of a nightmare at the moment, so I am hoping to sort stuff out here so I dont need to come back until it settles down.
Hope you are all well, see you soon!
Neil"

17th September 2006: "Hi all. I had my first day at work last Friday teaching English to 7,8 and 9 year old spanish kids. Great fun. Playing games mostly with a bit of English thrown in. All the other staff seem great and have just let me get on with it...for the moment anyway.
I have found somewhere to live which is in the San Basilio area of Cordoba. It is quite near the river and the Mezquita - Cordoba's star attraction. The area is very old with winding narrow streets and whitewashed buildings. Last night I went to a free Flamenco concert  in some old garden thingy that used to be a castle or something, bloody old anyway. Good stuff. I start teaching Mon-Fri at 4.30pm and finish at 8.30. The rest of the time I am free but I have to plan lessons.
The next time off is Xmas, so hope to see you then."

August 2006: New 'Links & Free Stuff' page has been added to this site. Here you'll find links to other local bands, free games, free software downloads, links to venues, and other useful music-related services.

July 2006: 8th July, Martlesham on the Green. - Andrea has returned! There may be the odd gig she might have to miss, but we knew she couldn't keep away for long...

May 2006: 10th May, approx 2pm: Andrea & Tim are pleased to announce the birth of their newest addition Adam James Turner!

May 2006: Neil is trying his luck (again!) abroad - he's hoping to set up a new life in Seville, teaching English to the Spanish. He will be stepping out of the band predominantly for about a month starting near the end of May - and if he's successful he may not be returning. As ever, Dominick Bacon (also ex Never Angel) will be filling his shoes (with what?) while he's away, and may possibly be joining us full time depending on how Neil gets on. Watch this space!!

April 2006: Ex Titian Red vocalist Annamarie Gordon has had her second baby with her partner, Keith Crush. Ella Linda Rainbow Crush was born on 1st April - mother and baby both well.

March 2006: Currently Andrea has stepped down from gigging with us to have a second baby. At present we do not know if she will be rejoining us (but we hope she does!) - in the meantime we wish her (& Tim) all the best, and we'll post any further news here on the website.
