Busy Weekend!

Wow! What a weekend we've just had!

It began on Friday evening with the launch night of our most recent single 'Falling For Orpheus' at the Watershed in Bristol.

The night started with brilliant pianist Ed Wren, joined by the equally talented Zoë Wren on vocals, who together performed a lovely chilled out set including the second part to 'Falling For Orpheus', named 'Eurydice Rising'. Ed later left the stage and Zoë picked up her acoustic guitar taking the night in a more folky direction. After this we had a short interval to give the wonderfully attentive audience a break and re-set the stage.


After a short break warming up, tuning our many many instruments, and running about the place in our ridiculous heels, we took to the stage. It was an absolute honour to play to such a wonderful audience. Also to have such beautiful projected visuals displayed behind us by Scott Quinn, and to be joined once again by the amazing Dear Light - Zoë kindly joined us for 'Falling For Orpheus' too.


Once the night was over we packed up and headed home to what would be a very short sleep before we were up again to play in Head Bristol as part of Record Store Day. In contrast to the previous night we played a much more subdued acoustic set. It was fun to do something so different.


We again got back into our rather cramped 'tour bus' and drove over to Chiselborough, near Yeovil Somerset where we would be playing a show in the village hall. This was the second village hall event we had been involved in and it was equally lovely. This time we'd come laden with candles and homemade cakes.


Beginning the night was wonderful folk musician Sharon Martin with her brilliant new band The Occasional Band. We then finished the evening with another acoustic(ish) performance and wrapped up a very enjoyable weekend.

Catch us next for a free entry show at The Colston Hall Foyer on 2nd May.

Single Launch & Village Hall Show

Here's a little update on our next couple of shows.

This Friday 17th we are launching our new single 'Falling For Orpheus' at The Watershed, Bristol. 'Falling For Orpheus' is a song, written in collaboration with songwriter Richard Williams, based on the greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.


Supporting us on the night will be Zoë Wren and Ed Wren. We will also be joined on stage for some collaboration by Zoë and Phil Collings (Dear Light) who supported us at our album launch in December.

Advance e-tickets are available for £7, or alternatively they can be purchased on the door for £10.


The following evening we are heading to the Chiselborough Village Hall, near Yeovil to play a more stripped back acoustic set. Support will be from Sharon Martin & The Occasional Band. Expect candles and homemade cakes.

Tickets for this are available from the Jelli Records website.
