The Theatre@41 Monkgate in York was a lovely venue to play and the support we had and the people we met that night were warm and friendly and chatty. A truly lovely evening.

The very special 

Suicide Memorial Quilt

Yorkshire Speak Thy Name Suicide Memorial Quilt is a phenomenal piece of art dedicated to loved ones lost. With permission, we used the quilt as the video for our song 'Feels a lot like love'.

On a bench in Bracknell

It's important to sit on a park bench sometimes and just breathe.

Soundcheck in Bracknell

The set up and soundcheck is vital. Bob is a master at all the technical bits and we couldn't have done it without him.

Kicking off the tour in our hometown of Derby was a blessing. The audience at Deda was a full blown majestic beast and to play for them was a privilege.
