Edwyn Collins support

Dale will be supporting Edwyn Collins at Buxton Opera House on the 13th Feb. This will be a solo show for TSY.

For Edwyn Collins, one of the most influential figures on the Glasgow post-punk scene, both as the lead singer of Postcard label stars Orange Juice (Rip It Up, Falling & Laughing, Simply Thrilled Honey, Lean Period, What Presence?), as a solo artist (A Girl Like You, The Magic Piper of Love) and producer for the likes of The Proclaimers, his music career came to an abrupt halt in 2005 when he suffered two cerebral haemorrhages. Since then he has fought his way back to health, released a new album, Home Again, presented a successful exhibition of drawings and begun to play the festival circuit, including Glastonbury and the BBC Electric Proms. Now Four Four Time is excited to welcome the return of a courageous and inspirational artist and his band, including Aztec Camera frontman Roddy Frame.

TSY support Soy Un Caballo in London

Our next London date will be a very intimate show at The Betsey Trotwood on the 18th Feb. This is a single launch party for our friends Soy un Caballo and we will be playing this show as a duo with acoustic guitar and cello.

Soy Un Caballo are a Belgian couple who write and perform songs of exquisite fragility, and record them in Brussels with an amazing line up of musicians such as Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (Will Oldham), members of Raymondo and producer Sean O’Hagan (The High Llamas). They have teamed up with Tunng on their new single. Released exclusively on gold 7” vinyl, this extra-special limited single has Tunng’s version of Soy Un Caballo’s Robin on the A-side, with the band’s original version on the flip.

Trace Recordings compilation/Elite Barbarian remix

Dale has just recorded an exclusive version of a new TSY song called 'The king grows tired' for a forthcoming compilation on Trace Recordings.
All details will appear here: http://www.tracerecordings...com/

We also have a remix coming out very soon. We loved Elite Barbarian's debut album 'It's only when you get to the end that it all makes sense' so much that we enlisted him to remix one of the tracks from 'We're
becoming islands one by one'. Details on the remix will appear online.
You can order Elite Barbarian's album (available in limited edition Pika Pika-designed sleeves) from the Front and Follow label: http://www.frontandfollow...com/
