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.

acoustic set and more

Our first acoustic gig for fifteen months was on Saturday, the clouds parted and the sun shone making it a glorious day, thanks to Whalley Range Festival for having us and thanks to so many people for turning out it was great to see you all. Sunday was an early start for a full-band photo-shoot with multiple locations, it was suitably grey and grisly weather for the central Manchester site and then on to Elizabeth Gaskell's House (massive thanks to them for allowing permission to use the interior of their fantastic building - which deserves to be far more widely known). We will put some pictures up as soon as we get them, until then a couple from Saturday:

Set List:
Love
The Wargame
Checkered Land
Seen It All Before
Day In Day Out

Relaxing in the shade after our set, we played as a duo for a change.
