They're great sounding, added them as friends some time back. I see their single launch is at Bourne and Hollingworth - lovely to see the building being given it's old name as most people know it as The Plaza.

Great sounds and not long till the single launch.

Super, they remind me of someone from the seventies and folky but can't place it but what the fuck? ...........later hmmm The Road Is Long very Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny

Like the name.......wonder if they leave money under your pillow if you leave them tabs or that quaint old word smokes

they may have taken their name from an old film i saw years and years ago

Went to see them at Rough Trade last night, accompanied by Cats and Books, and joined later by Romeobrass.

Not many people turned up. Nice harmonies, nice guitar playing. Lovely songs. Their between song banter was not good, very subdued and monotone, nothing really about the songs, a few apologies at delays caused by having to keep re-tuning one of the guitars.

And for the last song (current single) they were joined by none other than Leo Abrahams on guitar.



Nice to see one of the 'fairground' photos of the boss hanging up behind the stage.

Not sure how long it will stay there now Baroness has got wind of it ... expect she'll be finding a long and voluminous coat for next time she pops in.
