We'll be playing at the Portobello Acoustic Sessions again, this time on the 28th October.
It's free to get in and very cosy. They describe themselves thus:
Portobello Acoustic Sessions at the Metropolitan are dedicated to bringing you the very best in singer and songwriter talent and has become a hub of exciting new music and brightest emerging stars. The experience is one that's truly special and one that you won’t forget. The beautiful Lounge upstairs at the Met is complete with gorgeous wooden floors and furniture, large windows with velvet drapes and an open fire.This Sunday, 1st August, we shall be playing the Local’s All Dayer festival, Shhh!
I have been told that it’s a whole day’s worth of superb summery quiet fun. There will be special guests, surprises, quizzes and cakes on the lawn, the works…
It’s all taking place at the famous Cecil Sharp House, in Camden, and we shall be performing in the Storrel Hall at 2.30pm.
Starting at 12 and finishing around 9, you can get your early bird tickets ***here*** for a tenner, rather than the walkup price of £15.
Hope to see you there.
Wednesday 2nd June –
Folk With Welly – The Duke of Wellington, Portobello Road
London. 8.45pm.
The tape machine at Dropout studios broke. After 3 weeks of hopes of the machine being fixed dashed, on a week by week basis, I decided to try to take some control back on a remarkably horrible situation.
We had all the tracks on the album finished (almost - I'd have liked to just adapted a couple of things but though we could do this in about an hour on the mixing day)
And then I got a call saying that the machine was playing back with a warble. Hence lots of tapes, with all our lovely music on them, un-mixed and unplayable from the tapes.
