This Friday we will be playing an acoustic show to benefit Krasif Aid – a charity which works supporting vulnerable people in Bulgaria.

The show takes place at Newhampton Arts Centre in Wolverhampton and will also include an acoustic set from our good friend Dan Whitehouse.

Friday’s gig won’t be your usual run-of-the-mill show, artist Elena Thomas has created a one of her unique shed installations and we will be performing inside this shed which will be on stage at the venue.

Alongside the live music there will a small craft fair and all proceeds from tickets and craft sales will be going to Krasif Aid.

Tickets cost £5 from the Newhampton box office / 01902 572090 or you can pay on the door. There’s also a Facebook event page, if that’s your kind of thing.

See you there!

We’re pleased and, frankly, a little relieved to finally be able to present to you our brand new music video “Second Wave”, which is also the opening track of our Rumours / Secrets EP.

Please help us by spreading this link far and wide, and by signing up to our mailing list and facebook page. That way we can keep you posted about future releases and performances…two more ways you can support both us as a band, and organic live music as a whole. In return, we’ll be able to make more and more of this sort of content available for free. Enjoy!

Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone who submitted artwork for our EP competition. As we’ve already said, we were blown away by the response and the level of creative expertise on display in a great number of the entries.

It is with enormous pleasure that we can announce Paul Connop as the winner of the competition. We were all enchanted by his take on the theme “Rumours / Secrets”, as demonstrated not only by his submission for the front cover, but also his wider visual concept for the EP campaign (which you’ll all see in due course – it looks excellent). Thanks Paul!

Even deciding on the runners-up was difficult. In the end, it was a three-way tie between Kelly Holmes, Cherry Robin and Richard Davis. To be honest, any one of these – and several other entries – would have made great front covers. Shame we had to pick just one. To all of you, if we ever run a competition like this again, please enter.

Starting with Paul’s winning entry, here are all the submissions we received. I think you’ll agree there were some great ones…
