The Fantastic Light Ship!
The VIP party on the John Sebastian was a corker of a night!
The 130 year boat is a magical venue, it smells like old wood and teak oil, and you can hear the harbour water lapping at its sides. Maybe it was the booze, or the dancing, or some combination of both, but we all had our sea-legs on as the boat rocked with us all night.
'Moody Will and the Roll' kicked off the evening with some great tunes, and we are looking forward to them playing with us again this Saturday for the EP launch gig at the Lansdown in Clifton, Bristol! (get tickets here)
Part way through the evening Alicia Best joined us on violin and vocals (we are exploring our sound as a trio,) and as one person wrote; your voices blend like milk and honey.
We set up a typewriter on our merchandise table so that our crowd-funding campaign donors (and other VIP guests) could type anonymous feedback about the evening's events. We will continue to use the typewriter at gigs for our email list and general feedback (perhaps some of you signed up for these emails via typewriter!)
In Dartmouth between shows and some busking, we hiked out by the coves and filmed this live video on the seaside cliffs.
Our gig on Tuesday in Birmingham marked five shows as a trio, in as many days.

Weekend recap
Friday's show was a blast!
We had a great time on Friday at the George IV in our hometown and as a result, have been offered a slot at The Lichfield Folk Festival this October!

We used a similar set list for last nights show in Notting Hill at Mau Mau bar, which we thoroughly enjoyed despite the fact that Robert didn't have his harmonicas!
We will be back at Mau Mau bar this summer.
We even had time to squeeze in a bit of browsing at the famous Portobello Market.

Big Crane music Video out Tomorrow!
It's a cool night in Antigua , Guatemala. The volcano, Fuego, is erupting softly in the distance and the cobbled streets are almost empty.
The stage is set
"Action!"
I conceal my dictaphone in my coat, I can hear the bells at the Merced church begin to ring and the familiar opening riff of the song comes drifting out of my inside pocket...
"Big Crane heard my shout, Big Crane gonna lift my doubts"
The video for "Big Crane" is coming Tomorrow!
Make sure you pre-order our EP "Home from Home" on iTunes or Amazon.co.uk where you get the single download straight away!
