The illness which Tattersall appeared to be fighting off when I saw the Lobster Boat Band in Nottingham apparently took a firmer hold as the tour went on. The wrap up show by The WP's at The Bull and Gate in London had to be cancelled and he was absent from the Marc Riley session they had last week. For a couple days more you can hear Howard, Franic, Billy and Jaune get by without him:

I'd be interested to hear if he had to miss the LB shows as well. As well as they did on the session without him I imagine his absence would have left quite a hole in their touring plans.
On a more positive note, the first new WP's material is on the horizon!

WIAIWYA have a single series planned for next year and the WP's are the first release, on January 7th 2012. According to the link above, the 7-inch will feature 3 new songs, Salt, Sugar Maple Charcoal and New Born Deer.
So the bitter and the sweet - as they wind down with illness the new shoots of the future are already rising. Let the campaign for "God Save The Wave Pictures" t-shirts begin here!
