We've just finished a series of gigs in the South West, many thanks to everyone who came! Here's a performance of Willow Tree from the most recent gig at Exeter Picturehouse, which was a particularly special one we think.

Many thanks to Martin and Martin from Roots and Shoots for having us on the show - we don't have a good recording of the actual session, so these songs are from a rehearsal of our set that we did earlier in the day. If you missed the show, this is roughly what it sounded like!


Songs: Ei Di'r Deryn Du (Blackbird will you go), and Gallant Ship / Skylark medley. Click here to download.
