On 2 May 2013, the band also performed at the 2013 edition of the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) in Harare, Zimbabwe. They featured on Saturday 4 May 2013 at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, UK, and were very well received. 'We'll never forget you.'
  Shingai Shoniwa has provided backing vocals for many bands including Guillemots songs "Made Up Love Song#43" and "Over the Stairs". 
  In the summer of 2009, the band started working with rock photographer Peter Hill as their tour manager.
