Thanks to everyone who came out and saw Tenniscoats play across the UK and everyone who made the shows possible…

Saya and Ueno had a grand time and hopefully we can get them back here for more shows next year.  In the meantime, they’ll be joining Tetsuya Umeda at Cafe Oto on the 28th of June and playing together with The Pastels on a short tour in September including a spot at the Moseley Folk Festival.
