Just on the run up to Southwell Folk Festival now although we won't actually be joining the Gate procession though ! It's all moved on a way since Bob Hine of Dolphin Morris got this all going some years ago ... Thanks for that Dolphin and Bob in particular. Somehow music always seems to take precedence over dancing these days for me !
Finally getting down to finishing off our CD which we started last year. It's proved problematical getting us all in a studio at the same time for a weekend so we're multitracking the last few tracks instead but will engineer the whole thing at the studio (whether we can all make it or not !!!). See the gallery for some photos in the studio.
August 2007
Been a bit quiet on the festival front this year after numerous festivals last year. Despite having his instruments stolen John managed, in record time, to replace his prized C/F Castagnari just 3 days before setting off to play at Broadstairs Folk Festival ! In the nick of time too, we did two fantastic sessions (a workshop and a Euro-dance) with the inimitable Kerry Fletcher .... have you done a MAZurKA ?! We also did a French bal at the Pavilion the following day.
We've also been busy lately adding tracks to our demo CD which will be winging its way to various festival organizers in the hope of a booking or two (grovel, grovel !).
In addition we've been learning new material lately including some self penned stuff. The trouble is :-
