Hello!
We hope that you've all had a most fantastic summer! It has felt like our feet haven't touched the ground! We have lots of photographs to sort through and add to our gallery, but for now we'd like to let everyone know about the gigs that we have left in the autumn.
02 - 04.10.09 Tenterden Folk Festival Tenterden, Kent 05.10.09 Folk on Monday, Islington, London 08.10.08 Maudslay Thursday, double bill with George Papavgeris, Coventry 17.10.09 Sutton Folk Club, Sutton 14.11.09 Scottish Smallpipes Workshop day in Lewes, Elephant and Castle, Lewes, Sussex 14.11.09 Lewes Saturday Folk Club, Elephant and Castle, Lewes, Sussex
Monday 4th October is the start of a new club in London: Folk on Monday so it would be great to see loads of people join us for that evening and Mark is joining us for Maudslay Thursday in Coventry on the 8th October. We are also playing as George Papavgeris' Los Marbles, so it should be a great evening!
Saturday 14th Novemeber is very exciting, we're running a day of Scottish Smallpipe Workshops before performing in the evening. Having run some workshops in the North for the Cumbria Pipers, it's time for the pipers in the South to have day! Book early as places are limited. Get in touch and let us know what you'd like us to do and we'll do our best in incorporate it!
Thank you to everyone who ever got in touch with Mike Harding we are very grateful for the radio play in July. Please keep mailing him and requesting our tracks ... a second play would be mighty!
We were played by Verity on BBC radio 3's Late Junction last week. You can catch this show until Wednesday.
That's all for todays rambling! Some photographs from the summer to follow soon! :)) Vicki & Jonny

Hello! We had a fantastic time last night! Thank you to everyone that came out. We have photos and video, so over the weekend we'll post up a youtube clip or two! It was such a pleasure playing with Mark, Pete and Roy. We're still on a high from the whole evening! We thanked Doug on stage for recording the album and making it so wonderful, but we forgot to thank Andy and Terry from The Long Drop for taking such awesome pictures and designing such a cool album cover and making our wonderful new postcards and flyers, so it's a bit late, but thank you Andy and Terry for doing such a great job! Another blog at the weekend with pictures and video! Hugs Vicki & Jonny

Hello! We're in the studio again recording with George and having lots of fun. As we all record apart it's given us some time to do some work on the website. So in celebration of the album going off to press yesterday we've uploaded all the dots of all our tunes on the new album to the website. We also added an arrange by tune name feature, there are quite a lot of tunes up there now! Our new publicity arrives on Tuesday too. So it's all go and all really exciting times! Keep an eye on the site for more news! :) Vicki & Jonny
