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.

Busy Bees

It’s been another busy week for us, but we've been loving every moment (sleep included).

Recording at Toybox Studios

We kicked off the week preparing to go into Toybox Studios to record our song about Eurydice falling to the Underworld. We recorded the song over Tuesday and Wednesday. This was our third time in a recording studio over the last year, and we realised that we have become a lot faster and more efficient since the first time. We’re really happy with the results, especially since we have all pushed ourselves to take new directions we weren't used to. Just wait 'til you hear some of the effects on Sally’s guitar she would never have dreamed of using in the past!

We will be back in the Studio in November to help with the final mix.

Performing at The Lantern Society, London

Thursday we had a great day out in London! So maybe half of the day was spent driving and stuck in London traffic, but it was all worth it in the end. Despite the traffic, we managed to have some time to explore the Museum of London before heading off to a meeting. To finish off the day, we went off (walked, sensibly) to The Lantern Society at The Betsey Trotwood to play a few songs. The crowd were fantastic, so polite and respectful. We got to see some great acts too, including the lovely Zoë Wren with whom we are looking forward to working with soon.

The Honeyfire at The Queenshilling

Our week ended late last night at The Queenshilling in Bristol for a women-only night supporting IDestroy which was a complete contrast to the night before but still fun!

Back to J&J, and Visiting the Underworld

We are back from an extra day of recording at J&J studios, though we wish it was longer – we’re not quite ready to say goodbye to that lovely studio yet.

We had an amazing day adding the missing pieces to our album and we could not be happier with the results. All of us are so excited to share the finished product with you all; our new material is unlike anything we have previously released.

It’s been fun for us to giggle at each other and our ‘misheard lyrics’: “The warthog has risen above the kite that holds this world to leather(?!)”, which has helped to release stress from some hard-working sessions.


Speaking of what we've been up to this week, we are almost ready to go into Toybox Studio next week to record our song about Eurydice and the Underworld. It has been (and will continue to be) a very interesting project, which has been different to any other projects we have worked on in the past. The founder of the project, Richard Williams, wrote the original chords, which he then gave us to complete the song.

We have enjoyed writing lyrics and melodies to fit such a fascinating myth, and creating a song from another musician’s original music has turned out to be a large responsibility, which we are honoured to have been trusted with.


The rest of this week we will be finalising the song, and we will update you all after the recording.

Quick reminder about our acoustic set in the basement of The Louisiana this Friday for THE FLUX. Tickets will be £5 on the door. Doors 7.30pm, music from 8.30pm. More details here.
