Beecher announces split

Posted in Bands on June 29, 2011

Beecher, who first split up in 2005 before reforming in 2011 for three shows, has announced they are calling it a day.

Frontman Ed Godby explains:

When we knocked it on the head in 2005 our personal lives were in various states of disarray and we had no inclination to continue with things. Several years on, lives sorted out a bit and the urge to pick up where we left off was strong- so we planned a few shows to see how we felt about the whole thing. The shows were fantastic- especially London and our hometown show in Manchester, but instead of feeling like a new beginning, it felt like an appropriate full stop to all things Beecher.

Beecher members also play in Castles, Day for Airstrikes, The Ergon Carousel, and Pine Barrens.
