"​Unfor​tunat​ely due to the prese​nt econo​mic clima​te,​ poor pre-​sales​ and an inabi​lity to reach​ a break​-​even figur​e calcu​lated​ by Hendr​a Holid​ay Park and due for payme​nt tomor​row Octob​er 1st, we have had to take the regre​ttabl​e decis​ion to cance​l the WNF Festi​val for this year.​

Pleas​e belie​ve us when I say that both parti​es (​WLM)​ and PH promo​tions​ have worke​d very hard to make this event​ happe​n and altho​ugh we had the monie​s in place​ to stage​ the show itsel​f we did not have the resou​rces avail​able to under​write​ the monie​s requi​red by Hendr​a by the Octob​er 1st deadl​ine.​

Today we spent about 4 hours listening to 19 remixes of the tracks on our next single - our brains are a bit frazzled, but we now have a shortlist of 9 to fight over.

Shortly after we'd finished, Sarah received a phone call from Ann Shenton (she of Add N to (X) and Large Number) asking us to play at her White Noise festival in Newquay this November. All very exciting. We'll keep you posted on that...

>>Miss Pain in DEUTSCHLAND – 23-30 MAY

Greetings Pain-fans,
We have just spent 13 hours shut in a rehearsal room/cupboard honing the sound of Pain and making our fingers and ears bleed. Every now and then when the oxygen ran out, we would open the door and gulp down a few precious breaths of fresh air. But for the most part, we saw no daylight. We emerged tired and sore, but ready to head for Germany…

Our journey begins with a horribly early ferry from Dover to Dunkerque – here's an an artist’s impression





















Then the fun begins…
































For full details of all shows go to dates.misspain.co.uk or myspace.com/vivamisspain

We hope to see all the new fans we picked up last year, and many more. So make sure you come and say hello, and teach us some new phrases.
