Andy’s Pizza Obsession
Andy manages to get a Dominos delivered in the heart of the Devon countryside. Wherever Andy goes he leaves a trail of pineapple chunks…
Not just the hit of this festival, but probably every other festival this summer.

This is the Landmark Theatre in Ilfracombe. We found ourselves parked up between the two towers and rang to ask where the load in door was. They told us we were on the roof.
We played the Garden stage which is just surreal. The structure was apparently imported from Italy for the Great Exhibition in 1851 then moved to The Larmer Tree Gardens in Dorset where it was re-erected and called ‘The Singing Theatre’. It was a magical thing. We sat on it before our gig to watch The […]
We were in Stornoway this week doing the HebCelt Festival which was a lot of fun despite the ferocious wind, the relentless rain and the freezing temperatures. Troy and I were dressed for summer. Mistake. At least the miserable weather kept the midges at bay. We were asked to go on the local gaelic radio […]
We did Glastonbury the other day. The Avalon stage. To be honest it wasn’t a gig I was looking forward to. I’d never been to ‘Glasto’ before – it was one of those events that passed me by until it became so popular it looked like a huge communal bio hazard. We were on on […]
Went to the Folk Awards last night. We were nominated for Best Live Act, but didn’t win. It was good of them to nominate us though. They asked us to perform a song as well. We did ‘I Fought The Law’. I don’t really know how it went down because I had a droopy mic […]
Interesting set of photos here from The Robin in Bilston. Not often you get decent photos, but I quite like these. Very sweaty gig – you can see my jeans are sticking to me. My shirt was like a wet rag by the end of the evening. Only 2 gigs to go on this tour! […]
We have a new stand which holds the mandolin, the octave mandolin and the bouzouki. YES – it’s a ‘Hercules GS432B Auto Grab Tri guitar stand’!!! It is a thing of such god-like beauty that Troy and I regularly pray to it. See the devotion and fear it inspires. And in the background the stairway […]
Trouble with the constabulary at Leicester Big Session
We followed Tony Benn on stage at The Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival and felt a bit like The Wombles following The Pope onto that little balcony in St Peters Square. The festival had a great vibe though, and also had a great T-shirt stall. I don’t usually by T-shirts with stuff written on, but I found […]
