Well!!! Biggest act we’ve supported so far at the Milkmaid, and we were GREAT!!! Must’ve been all the extra practices… Our CDs were ready just in time for the gig too, so that was a real bonus!!

We had a great night at Ely Folk Club on 16th of May. Dan McKinnon is a great songwriter and storyteller.

Final Rock Lobster Session

We’re going back to the studio again on June 10th for what we hope will be the final recording session for our first studio album (working title: Simple Folk). It’s been a real learning experience for us, not to mention pretty interesting to hear ourselves properly for the first time….

Ruby in Bury came to the Milkmaid folk club on March 2nd, and enjoyed herself greatly, judging by all the nice things she says about it. Read her review here.

Back at the Rock Lobster

heathermcclean — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 20:13:53 +0000

What a great name for a recording studio! We had a productive second session in the studio, despite a shaky start (lots of sore throats and croaky voices…). It’s interesting hearing what we actually sound like! Another session coming up in a couple of months’ time to get things finished off and get that CD out on the market!!!

The Rock Lobster Sessions

heathermcclean — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 10:55:29 +0000

Our latest project is getting our first studio CD recorded. We’ve been working with Rock Lobster Studios in Southwold, and they’ve been great so far. We’ve got seven songs recorded; now we’re heading into the studio again on February 18th to finish it off. This is the easy bit! Then we have to organise cover artwork, distribution, etc. etc.
