Half A Million, Royal Wedding, Upcoming Gigs n stuff...
So the big news is that our "Bring Me Sunshine" video is now over half a million views and still climbing. At this rate we'll probably be at over a million three weeks so please keep spreading the sunshine. We have had so much great feedback and people are thanking us for brightening up their day. Not only that but just look at the weather, at least in the UK, it's like August in May and it all started when we released the video. The power of SUNSHINE! Please keep passing on the link to your friends. http://is.gd/sunshine. The single will be released on May 2nd and I'll send out the iTunes link as soon as it's available.
Next weekend we have the Royal Wedding to celebrate. We'll be at the Derry Jazz Festival but you can still celebrate with us by getting our version of "Get Me To The Church On Time" recorded especially for the occasion. Click on the link below to open the iTunes Store.

We are also appearing on the "Come Dine With Me Royal Wedding Special on the 29th on Channel 4 as part of Samantha's 1940's street party. Finger crossed her fabby pie n mash with jellied eels (yes very authentic!) with sticky toffy pudding and custard wins!
Coming up tonight we are in East Grinstead for a charity concert in the Parish Hall and tomorrow night we are at the 100 Club in London where we are also doing some filming for Mike Sherman's "On The Mike" Red Carpet TV show in Miami. So come down in your best duds! Right after that we travel to Derry, Northern IReland for our favourite festival of the year. See you there, or somewhere, or online soon!

Just did a great show at the Thameside Theatre in Grays, Essex (Ken's home town!) with the fab Rebecca Grant doing a lot of Louis and Keely material. Next up this weekend is tomorrow night (Saturday16th) at the Boogaloo Weekender (which is sold out) on Hayling Island via Portsmouth for a quick "Say No To Drugs" event at Gunwharf Quays. Then on Sunday (17th) it's our first gig at Pizza Express at the Pheasantry on the King's Road, London. All details are on our gig guide. Oh, and I just found out via Twitter that next Friday's gig at Trading Boundaries in Sussex is SOLD OUT too but there's a few standing places left.
Sooooo, what's the big "Bring Me Sunshine" music video news??? Well I'll tell you! Our views have now past the 1/3 of a million mark and are at 335,097. It is not the 15th most viewed video in the music category in the UK this month AND the 113th most viewed video in all categories in the UK this month on the YouTube charts. The Jive Aces YouTube Channel is also the 11th most viewed music channel in the UK this month! That's pretty gorram AWESOME if you ask me!
Now the #1 spot has only 625k views in a month and I think we could beat that and really get the sunshine out there. Please help us spread it by reposting the link to FaceBook, Twitter or emailing it to friends to bring smiles all around. Even if you've posted it once, chances are that not all your friends would have caught it on the news stream. There's no limit to the sunshine!
Goodnight and see you all tomorrow for more sunshine! (I used the word sunshine a lot in this blog post, didn't I? Oh there's another one!)

P.S. the single will be out on May 2nd, watch this space!

It's Friday night and we've just finished the latest Jazz Meets Jive show in Bedworth. Tomorrow we're off to Leeds in the afternoon to play at an event for the "Truth About Drugs" campaign and then in the evening we'll be back at the Ritz Ballroom in Brighouse, Yorkshire, one of the very few remaining sprung dance floor ballrooms left int he country. Sunday see us return to Walmer Bridge Village Hall with Farmer Tom and his meat pies (included in the ticket price of course, what a bargain!).
The "Bring Me Sunshine" is now over 211k views in three weeks which is astounding! It's also the 35th most watched video in the music category in the UK this month. Not half bad I'd say!
The single of "Bring Me Sunshine" will be the first release of our new record label "Golden Age Recordings" which we have just set up with Guy Fletcher OBE. Guy is the only British lyricist to have been commissioned to write songs for Elvis.
Here we are with Guy working out the details of "Golden Age Recordings"
Right, to bed and I'll see if I wake to see thousands more people have been hit by sunshine…
Goodnight!
Alex
