We’ve often played in the Wolfe Room, upstairs at the Black Swan but it was great to have the chance to play the whole evening on a club night. Many thanks to Bob Mitchell for these great photos.

It’s several years since we did a photo session with the band. We have lots of gig photos, but here we all are, standing still for once.

Many thanks to our great friend Lesia Gordienko for the wonderful photography.

What a banging St Patrick’s night at O’Neills in York! Here are Linds and Rachel bracing themselves for a long, loud gig!

As usual, the bar was rammed when we arrived – not the easiest load-in, but what a great crowd! Lots of dancing to two hours of Trad. Happy St Patrick’s Day!!

We started the year with our regular gig at The Snickleway Inn in York. We’d been arranging a few new tunes but hadn’t had time to run through them with our percussionist Billy. He did an amazing job of playing a new set that included two time changes, with only a two minute briefing along the lines of “three times through the first tune – the same 12/8 time as America from West Side Story – then it goes into three-three-two for the interlude, then it’s a straight reel but let Linds set the new tempo” He nailed it. Of course he did!

Bob Mitchell came down with the top-notch new Canon camera he was trying out – here are a few of his photos from the night:

Everything falls off the stand, halfway through the first tune of the set… A great set, mind – Greenside Festival in the Yorkshire Dales.

Our monthly gigs at The Snickleway Inn on Goodramgate in York for September onwards are confirmed – take a look at our Forthcoming Gigs page.
