I first came into contact with This Is The Kit via Rob da Bank's British/American folk/psychedelia compilation album, 'Folk Off', which featured the track '2 Wooden Spoons', which I believe was released by Sunday Best as a single to promote that collection. It all seems a very long time ago, and it was only July. But that, of course, is what a month at the Edinburgh Festival will do to you. Anyway, I loved that album, and I loved that song. So why is This Is The Kit worth mentioning just now? Well, firstly, I do like the other songs on the MySpace page and recommend you go and preview them. But also, to be honest, This Is The Kit (who is basically Kate Stables, with occasional contributions from two others) lives in Paris. And she's playing a gig, in Paris, next Tuesday. Why is this significant to a UK dweller such as myself? Well, I'll be in Paris next Tuesday. No really, I will. Who thinks I should go to that gig? And who thinks I just nominated This Is The Kit purely to show off that I'm actually going somewhere interesting for once? Answers on a postcard, to the first question. You evil doubters, she's great, go visit the page, with regard to the second question. I mean it.
