We are gearing up now for our UK Autumn tour, which kicks off in London this coming Sunday, October 19th. We'll be onstage at Hammersmith at 3pm, but please book in advance to be sure to get in, and come early to be sure to get a seat.

We're looking forward to playing in Bristol again, for the first time in three years.
We've heard great things about this venue, so please come down to The Croft if you live anywhere close.

Following swiftly on the back of our UK dates, we head to Japan - always a highlight of our touring year - can't wait!

We are delighted to be a part of Folkworks 20th Anniversary Concert which takes place at The Sage Gateshead on November 9th, and then we have a rare concert in France, near Paris, the following weekend.

Our Irish tour is still being finalised, but will take place all over the country from Friday November 21st. Confirmed dates are listed below and more will be added shortly here and to our website.
