A new Alfie official website has been launched to coincide with the new album (released 15th August 2005) and new single (released 1st August 2005)

Alfie played a couple of Manchester shows last weekend, in Salford (at the King's Arms along with Jack Cooper) and a show at the Manchester Night & Day... you can check out a review of the N&D gig over at BBC Manchester - who gave it 8/10. There's also photos of the gig (taken by Andy Stubbs) available on the same site
