One week in and 33% funded!

Thanks to everyone who has liked, shared, and donated, our album Kickstarter is off to a great start! We’ve already reached £3,337 of our goal (£10,000) and that’s all in the first week!


We still have a ways to go over the next 22 days so if you haven’t already, go check out the project here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/robertjmagpieackson/a-different-threads-sophomore-album

As well as the reward of your choice, when you donate you gain access to all kinds of bonus posts that are exclusive to backers (including videos from our recent band practice and a glimpse of what’s to come for this release).

Yesterday, music blog No Depression featured us in an article on their website and we also got featured by Kickstarter themselves as a ‘Project We Love’.

We will continue to promote the campaign, and so can you.
Tell your families and friends, spread the word!
Together we can bring this music to life.

Thank you for the continued support,

Robert and Alicia

Patreon Launch + New Music Video

It’s been a busy few weeks for us… and the whole world for that matter!
As the election and the pandemic continue to dominate the news cycle, we can see the difficult road ahead. We all have a lot of work cut out for us, and a long way to go.

To supplement all that, and to help pace ourselves, we are trying to focus on the positives:

The rising of the sourdough, the joy of working up a new tune, a long warm bath...

And...

Our Patreon page has just launched!

Click here to visit Patreon

We're so excited to be on this new platform and to welcome our first Patrons!

Through Patreon we are offering a window into our creative process, a place for us to share ideas, works in progress, and enrich our community.

We have set up four tiers with various perks and prices, so that Patrons can choose the rewards they want and pledge the amount that works for them.

Every month we will release new exclusive content for our Patrons, including; songs, videos, and other never before seen/heard materials!

In other good news we are thrilled to announce that the new music video for 'Cruel Mother' is being premiered by 'Folk Radio UK' TODAY!

Music is helping us through these hard times, we hope it helps you too.

Into Unchartered Waters

The murder of Blarney crows comes down to peck at the corn and pumpkin remains in the front garden, as the clock ticks ever closer towards December.

Just a little over a month until we may have to part ways indefinitely.

We have been apart for the last two months and are grateful to be reunited once more in Ireland, just a stone's throw from Blarney Castle, where we take shelter with a musician friend, Leah Sohotra, and her family. 

Ireland is back in it's highest level of lockdown, but we are finding ways to keep busy and we’ve been able to busk some in Cork City.

It's been a joy to spend more time street performing and get back to our roots!

Leader Of The Pack

Our latest cover song is out tomorrow but you guys get to see it first! (We thought it was crying out to be rearranged into a 'Ye Olde Style' murder ballad...) Click here to watch the video!

The song was requested by one of our Kickstarter donors and is part of their reward!
