Hello! Today is Bandcamp Friday, when the artist gets 100% of any purchase on Bandcamp.

So, if you were toying with buying one or more of our lovely songs (or anyone else's), then today would be a great time!

Some great photos taken at our recent concert at St Mary's Church in South Dalton during a fairly dramatic storm. Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to come and listen!

An amazing venue for last nights gig - although incredibly cold, with a storm raging outside.

Valid point.

If you care about a singer and/or band, get their music from BandCamp - that way they get paid fairly for their work.

And if you can’t do that then at least avoid Spotify - worst of the lot!
