More on that album...

A week before the above show, we're releasing the album "This Place You Call Your Home" (Folksville Records) - 26/06/36.

"For fans of their 2023 debut album “Hiding Away From the Light”, the new album retains the ‘rich songwriting craft’ and distinctive twin-acoustic guitar style that won them plaudits on the folk festival circuit. But it also delivers something further: an evolution in arrangement and performance, leading to an energetic collection of songs imbued with dynamic contrast and heart. The album firmly captures on record the three part vocal harmony sound that has become so popular in their live sets, adding a delicate power to the quieter moments on the album and an uplifting joy to the singalong choruses."

LP/CD/streaming.

Pre-orders available soon.

New album 'This Place Your Call Your Home' out on 26 June on @folksville Records.

This here video is a live recording of the opening track to that album 'Everybody Wants To Be Your Friend' from our show at the @pianodrome earlier this year (with the lovely @amyhillmusic_ and hosts (and all-round good guys) @otherdogmusic. January seems a long time ago, and I think we've all just managed to thaw out from that show.

On the studio recording it this song, we were joined by the wonderful Pepe from @rain_of_animals (plus many, many others!) who lent her talented ear and fiddle playing to the track.

Thanks to @venomgrub for this great video! He's one of a kind. A gem. A gent.

Sound edited by @teddypatonmusic - remember to check their new album out too!
