We're currently helping to organise the White Horse Beer and Music Festival at Coxtie Green, Brentwood, the biggest FREE festival in the area. Starting Thursday 12th July and continuing til Sunday evening on 15th, there will be a dj on the Friday night plus live music all day Saturday and Sunday.
The line-up for this year's event starts with the NapkinArse, Shakedown, Hell n Back, Reeper, Rusty Sherrifs and finishes with the Fabulous Chocolate Turtles on Saturday. Sunday starts with Stealer, Lobster, Shady Deal, Undercover and finishing with Dave Danger and Beef for Sunday. In addition The White Horse Band are set to entertain within the pub on Friday night and DJ Dansey will hit the decks in the beer garden.
This year's chosen charity is The Little Havens Children's Hospice - offering specialist one on one care for children with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses.
Timetable, maps and links to band websites appear on the Undercover website.

Who you listening to at mo?
What's on your iPod, your car stereo or CD deck? What are you listening to at the moment? I'm cramming my 4gb Nano with some of the latest albums and a few from the past plus quite a few podcasts on web standards, boagworld being a prime example.
Amy Winehouse, Mika, Paul Weller, the Chilis, The Good The Bad & The Queen, Fratellis and of course the Foo Fighters plus the Ramones are all getting a large amount of airplay. Recent additions are Maximo Park and The Gossip although I'm not entirely convinced about either yet, best I boot up iTunes then!

Tried out some new songs
For the last few months we've been looking at adding new songs to our repertoire, some of which we've ditched, others we've now included in our set and some that we're still working on.
Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love didn't make the grade so, sorry Freddie.
Slade's C'mon Feel The Noise made an appearance at The Tavern, Rush Green and we observed quite a few people singing along to it. We need some more work on this so expect to see it again.
The Fratellis' Chelsea Dagger got its first airing at The Tavern and is now firmly in the set, ooooh we love it, dah dah dah dah dah dah...
The Prince, by Madness and Boys Will Be Boys by the Ordinary Boys have now been added to our Ska medley and we can't get enough of it, skankin!
We've always wanted to do All These Things That I have Done by the Killers and so we recently tried this in rehearsal. It seems to be working well and we expect to get it involved during the festival gigs.
We also tried What's That Coming Over the Hill by The Automatic which we recon will get plenty of response. It's doing well and we expect to see this in the set for the gigs in May.
If you have some suggestions on songs we could try or opinions on our recent additions then please feel free to add your comments.

Welcome to Undercover Blog
We've arrived, and not before time, in the blogworld, something I've intended for quite a while and only now got around to doing at this strange hour. For those that don't know, a blog (weblog) is a website which allows text, photos and videos to be input and allows for comments from visitors. It's all part of the social media becoming more popular on the web. In contrast to a normal website everything is displayed in chronological order - old news at the bottom, new items at the top. The idea of Undercover's blog is purely to provide more up-to-date information about the band and invite some response, so come on folks lets hear views.
Best I introduce myself then, I'm Pete from Undercover, an Essex band playing in a variety of pubs in Essex, Herts, Beds and London plus parties within a 1&1/2hr drive from Hornchurch, our base!
We recently played the Tavern in Rush Green, Fatling & Firkin in Hornchurch and the Shark in Harlow but we're now taking a break for holidays - John's in Thailand, Terry's in Tenerife - plus there's a lot of birthdays in April. So, unless your lucky enough to see us at Big Dave's wedding or you have your ear to the ground on Terry's 50th you're not likely to see us until we return to the same 3 pubs in May.
The rehearsing is continuing as much as possible and we're keeping our dep guitarist, Adam, up to speed with our range of songs so he can help cover us for a number of gigs during the year. He's already played with us a few times including the gig at the George 2nd in Luton during March.
I've got more to say, but I need to collect my thoughts and make sure this works, so thanks for reading and please feel free to give us some feedback.
