Acoustic Festival of Britain

Last weekend we got to spend at Uttoxeter Racecourse for the Acoustic Festival of Britain. This was the second year we had been invited to play and when we arrived it almost felt like we had never left. This time round we were joined by friends and fellow Bristol based musicians Bashema, Jodie Stadden and Ria Timkin.

We also managed to beat last years record for tent assembling which turned out to be impeccable timing, as moments later we were caught in the middle of a thunder storm. Just typical that we forgot our raincoats - although sun hats apparently make very effective umbrellas.

After the storm finally eased on Saturday we headed over to the Sessions Beer Tent where we had the pleasure of performing (drumless), and on the following day we played an acoustic set with drums in the Big Top tent (which was completely solar powered!). Thanks to everyone there for listening, buying our music and giving such lovely compliments. It was really nice to share the stage with all our Bristol friends too. They were so amazing.

The rest of the time we got to experience other parts of the festival where we met lots of pirates dressed up for Mark Radcliffe and Galleon Blast's set later on that day, and some rather gothic morris dancers.

New Video

We're very excited to show you the music video for 'Parallel' from our debut album. Big thank you to Scott Quinn for giving up so much of his time to make it and to Corry Raymond for his help on the cinematography.

Bath Fringe Festival

On Saturday evening we got the chance to play in the beautiful Old Theatre Royal, in Bath as part of the Bath Fringe Festival.

Upon arrival we were given a guided tour around the venue and were completely blown away by the place. The architecture, tapestries and acoustics are all stunning. We especially loved the backstage area, complete with hanging swords (they unwisely let Natalie handle a priceless one!)

Starting the night was the talented Ellie Frank who gave us a lovely soulful set. She was then quickly followed by Cindy Stratton and Marius Frank, who were also the proud parents of Ellie. They played music combining a mixture of genres to create a wonderful sound and Ellie even joined them for a song – We do love family bands!

There was then a short interval before our turn. A wobbly, uneven stage and ridiculous shoes are not a good mix but thankfully we just about managed to cope. Afterwards we got to meet and chat with lots of new people as well as ones we knew, which was lovely.

A perfect night is not complete until you receive personalised Kinder eggs from fans. Thank you to the amazing Paul and Heidi!
