Little Miss Restless video

There's a live video from the Elizabeth Gaskell's House gig, eventually... there was a lot of work in making it watchable but all worth the effort.

It's all eyes on album release now and the artwork is almost finished for the inner and outer sleeves, the vinyl is at the pressing plant.
Its a huge project so there haven't been any post updates here for a couple of months,independence is great but there are times when it would be nice to have 60 hours a day to egt stuff done in. That isnt going to happen so it sometimes just take a while. The set list from the Luddstock gig was:
Girl On The Roof
Checkered Land
Brand New Cadillac
Karin B
Sit By The River
I Don't Want You Attentions
There's No One There
And a really nice little festival it was too, a great way to spend a July day and evening. We're back again next year.

Live in the drawing room and then back to new

Astounding gig at Elizabeth Gaskell's House, packed and a surreal setting to be in that room its like actually playing live in 1854 with the 21st century outside in the park playing basketball and cricket through the window. We were joined by Lucy Power on flute for Little Miss Restless, she's on the album recording, this is the first time we've had her playing it live. Great acoustics in there and a superb set by Turner too.

Set list:
Checkered Land, Only Everything,
Day In Day Out, Love, Charlotte,
The Wargame, I'm Real, Little Miss Restless,
Uhrwerk, Seen It All Before, Femme Fatal,
Girl On The Roof, Glide On By

Not ones for sleeping on our laurels, we were back in rehearsal this morning and working on new stuff again this morning.

Elizabeth Gaskell's House

Yes it really is unique. An acoustic gig in Elizabeth Gaskell's drawing room beckons, a 50 minute set with new songs making their debut from the forthcoming album and one song too new to be on the album, plus an acoustic set from Detour Record's Louise Turner accompanied on the 1890's piano. Thursday 7th April. 84 Plymouth Grove, Manchester, M13 9LW.

and, the single is released...

Elizabeth Gaskell House gig

It's a pleasure to announce that some songs from the new album will be making their live debut at a very special gig in Manchester taking place in the drawing room of Elizabeth Gaskell's House on 7th April. A rare acoustic gig for us, in an intimate room full of history and music.

And... its a double header we have Turner performing a live set too, she'll be accompanied by Nikki playing an 1890's piano. This is a unique experience.

Shay Rowan did a photo shoot with us at Elizabeth Gaskell House before Ann-Marie joined us a couple of those are pictures are below.

Tickets will go live soon http://www.elizabethgaskellhouse.co.uk/events/turner-and-speed-sound

Elizabeth Gaskell photo-shoot

We had a photo-shoot at Elizabeth Gaskell's House - one of Manchester's hidden gems,

In the drawing room, having a cup of tea in 1860. This is the room where apparently Charlotte Bronte's overwhelming shyness made her hide behind the curtains to avoid a visitor while she was staying with the Gaskell's.
It is exactly the kind of room where its tempting to climb through the looking-glass and see what we found on the other side but we resisted.
Huge thanks to EGH for making us welcome.
