SWIPE LEFT for a taste of the video for our single - #ONLYLOVE - released on Sunday 22nd June - get ready to dance - the beat is irresistible. Do help spread the (Only) Love!

As we approach Father's Day, let us think of them with love, wherever they may be. Written by Lee Goulding, The Gentle Man is a celebration of a special person, sadly missed. #FathersDay2025 #fathersday

Steps back in amazement!!

Merry Hell like this - have a read to find out why!!

This arrived the other day but I'm just listening for the first time now and it's great! They're always a great live experience but I'm tapping the foot even just sitting here on the sofa.

Thanks Jem, Delighted to be your album of the week!

JOIN US DO, in wishing multitudes of congratulation and admiration as Andrew Kettle undergoes his transformation from front man to Superman as he successfully completes his first TRIATHLON!!!

Listening to @merryhellband.bsky.social on the train home with a promise of family and beer awaiting me is a real pleasant way to round off one of THOSE weeks.

World Beat this eve 7-9pm BST on #GWSRadio with our album of the week Wild Green by #iyatraquartet music Emma Jean Thackeray @philcoopermusic.bsky.social @merryhellband.bsky.social An Dannsa Dub Miranda Ceara corto.alto and chatting with Osiligi Massai Warriors who visited Glastonbury town

PHEW! WHAT A SCORCHER! Releasing a new album is a strange affair - proud of what we've done, nervous about how it will be received. This review is a massive uplift. Thanks to David Pratt, Folk North West, for his thoughtfulness, insight & knowledge in a wonderful review!
