Stranger Songs
I have a track on this compilation put together by Stranger Songs in Cheltenham - a live recording of the folk standard Barbara Allen from Gießen earlier this year.
But there’s lots of really good stuff here - exclusive tracks from The Diamond Family Archive, Animal Magic Tricks, Men Diamler, Birdengine and Kristin McClement. All the proceeds go to the Bat Conservation Trust - so it is...

Tour 6.2
Heading back to Berlin, some eight hour train ride all over the place and at every stop just for fun.
Friday arrived in Alfeld to play at Cafe Live - Michael’s great venue in this little town. It’s obviously a labour of love - the walls are covered with photos of everyone that’s played there and he’s printed out a gorgeous A2 copy of our poster for the window. The room is...

Tour 6.1
Another train, this one full of camouflage army folks seemingly heading home for the weekend. Laurence asleep again, think we have half hour or so before we have to change.
Arrived in Bielefeld from Chemnitz a couple of days ago after a long, slow ride. The venue, Movie, is 30 seconds from the train station which, in my mind, always sets the alarm bells off. I try to make it a rule never to go...

Tour 6
Seven hour train journey from Chemnitz to Bielefeld - saving money by buying regional train tickets meaning we stop everywhere and then some. Pretty funny. Fee and Laurence fast asleep around me, but I’ve never been too good with sleeping on the move so typing to pass time, bear with me.

The Wife
I finished this record a few weeks ago and have been selling copies at concerts - the idea being that I make enough money to pay for the postage if and when I sell them online. Whilst I haven’t really made enough money, I’m not sure there’ll ever be a right time so I may as well start now.
I don’t know what to say about the record except to tell you some details. Most...
