Three weeks ago we did an hour long session for Les Ray’s Strummers and Dreamers 105 FM radio programme. This button will take you to the online mixcloud recording of the show.

Sorry to have not updated for a while but there was lots going on. After our slot in the bar at the Apex as support for Gordie MacKeeman two weeks ago we had another great night at the Boathouse a week later, we probably tried one too many new songs but it was a superb night with loads of great music.

This week we have been rehearsing for next weekend’s visit to the Yorkshire Cajun Festival  2016 and Matt brought along a new song that has real potential. We also came up with a new party piece which is our version of Bosco Stomp, it took us a while to get the structure sorted but then it fell into place. Those Cajun folk certainly make things look very easy and relaxed when sometimes there is all sorts of stuff going on.

We have also been asked to do a slot at the Thriplow Daffodil Festival on the 17th of April, then there are several things in the pipeline for May.

We really enjoyed doing the support slot  for John Wheeler at the Portland last week, many thanks to the audience who were attentive and gave us a good round of applause, it makes it all worthwhile. We both enjoyed John’s set, great guitar playing and singing and a very skilled line in barbed comic songwriting and monologue.

We have a small break now but several things in the pipeline. 17th of February we are playing at Ely Folk Club doing a support slot for Keith Donnelly. Then on the 18th we are doing a live session on Cambridge 105FM from 7pm for Les Ray’s show Strummers and Dreamers, we will be playing a few songs and talking about our music and influences. Later in the month on the 26th we are playing in the bar at Bury Apex as before show entertainment for Gordie McKeenan.

After the February rush we will be preparing to play at the Yorkshire Cajun and Zydeco Festival on the 19th and 20th of March.
