HI FRIENDS AND FANS.
SCONES PLAY O'DONOGHUES THIS FRIDAY 9TH AND SATURDAY 10TH.

FRIDAY WE WILL ROCK THE FULL BAND. THEN SATURDAY WILL BE A MORE INTIMATE SETTING WITH THE MUSICAL STYLINGS OF MARTIN & GARY.

20469 N Hayden Rd, SCOTTSDALE.
HAYDEN NORTH OF THOMPSON PEAK PKWY

SEE YOU THERE
CHEERS!

FRIENDS AND FANS. I STARTED THE SCONES OVER 13 YEARS AGO IN THE SUMMER OF 1995. WE'VE PERFORMED AND SOLD RECORDS IN NUMEROUS COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE RIDE BUT SADLY, AS WE REACH OUR 14TH BIRTHDAY, I MUST SAY GOODBYE TO THE VALLEY AND TO THE SCONES' AT LEAST ON A REGULAR BASIS.

SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW I BUILT A RECORDING STUDIO HERE A YEAR OR SO AGO. WELL I'VE HAD AN OFFER TO RELOCATE THE STUDIO. SO IN JULY OF THIS YEAR I WILL MOVE AND JOIN IN A NEW RECORDING VENTURE IN THE MONTEREY PENINSULA AREA, CALIFORNIA.

THIS IS A PLACE MY FAMILY AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH SINCE I'VE TOURED THERE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. THIS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY THAT I FEEL IS BEST FOR MY FAMILY AND MY CAREER.

AS FOR THE SCONES, WE ARE BY NO MEANS BREAKING UP. OUR AVAILABILITY AFTER JULY HOWEVER WILL BE GREATLY DIMINISHED. WE WILL BE REGROUPING PERIODICALLY FOR SHOWS IN THE VALLEY. IN NO WAY DO I WANT TO NEGLECT THE FAN BASE WE HAVE BUILT AND WHO HAVE SUPPORTED MYSELF AND THE BAND FOR SO MANY YEARS.

WE WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PRIVATE FUNCTIONS (SCHEDULE ALLOWING) WHICH WOULD THEN COINCIDE WITH REUNION SHOWS AT THE VENUES WE HAVE ENJOYED.

AS WE GET CLOSER TO JULY I WILL MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE SCONES' FINAL GOODBYE FOR NOW SHOW. UNTIL THEN COME SEE US WHILE YOU CAN.

AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND FANSHIP.

CHEERS!
MARTIN

The Scones now have a MY SPACE site. The idea is to better connect with our fans on an international level (hence the German & English version) and network to become the biggest band in the world named after a pastry.
