13/12/11 : Christmas is coming

Christmas is coming so it's time to wheel out this old gem again...

Stop The Cavalry (Jona Lewie cover) by The Lost Cavalry

We've had an amazing year - Jonny joined as our new drummer and we've moved on a lot musically I think, our new songs (a yet unrecorded!) have a feel to them that we're pretty excited about, We'll record them soon as we can in 2012.

It seems that every Christmas someone new joins the band - this year, we're pleased to officially welcome Derek Yau as our new cello player! Derek played guest cello for us on our last EP and was my co-composer on the Booked Out film soundtrack (the film will be released in 2012 by the way). It's good to have him on board!

Enjoy your mince pies! Mark.x


29/11/11 : The Flood - recorded live with Keston Cobblers' Club

Our EP launch for 'Snow City Radio' was an amazing night, thanks so much to everyone who came along and especially to We Walk On Ice and Keston Cobblers' Club for playing, and playing so well. The room was crammed and it was very hot! We finished the night by inviting Keston Cobblers' Club back on stage to play a couple more songs, one of which was our tune 'The Flood' - so here it is with ten of us on stage playing it together - it was quite something!

16/8/11 : Q, Myspace, The Tower and LeeFest

A lot has been happening since the release of our single 'Desert Tracks' - For Folk's Sake said "This is music that shines with grandeur" and we won the reader's poll for Single Of The Week on The 405 web site.

Then Q Magazine's web site featured another of our new tracks 'The Tower' as their exclusive Track Of The Day - and the next day the same track was featured on the front page of MySpace UK (we were next to Elbow - in good company!). 'The Tower' also got a great review on All Around Sound - you can download it now via the Q Magazine web site or wait until it's proper physical release as a part of our next EP in a few months.

Then we went to LeeFest and had a cracking day playing to people firstly as wandering minstrels and then during our set on the Wonderland stage which went down a storm. Photos on the photos page... we also met Keston Cobblers' Club who were amazing, and filmed a new music video for an old song (watch this space!). All in all, we've had a very busy two weeks!


1/8/11 : Desert Tracks - Available now!

Our new single 'Desert Tracks' is now available. It's a song about abandoned diamond mines, Namibia, sand and horses.

You may download the single directly from our band shop or the track is also available from Amazon, iTunes and eMusic - please spread the word!
