We had such a great time at The Rook and Gaskill last night! Thanks to everyone who came down to listen to us!
Big thanks to Aimie and Mikey for playing!
My favourite Facebook postings in response to the gig were:
“Folking Awesome Night”
“And Aimie Ryan and Leather’O were awesome at The Rook.
Brilliant.!”
and finally “Leather’O were amazing and we …had nice bread with pâté pickled onions and tomato”
Stop Press: Our gig on 14 September has been moved across the road to The Rook and Gaskill in York (under new management, by the way!) and as a result we will be coming along with our full five-piece line up plus support from our great friend, singer-songwriter Aimie Ryan.
We had a great time at The Galtres Festival. Thanks to everyone who came to watch the two sets we played on Saturday and Sunday – hope you enjoyed the sandwiches!
The band will be making a rare daylight appearance on The Knavesmire in York on 1 September. Even rarer – out of respect for the venue, the great and wonderful Bison Coffee Tent – we will be drinking rehearsal fluid. We will be in illustrious company. Join us!
The band is making some very special sandwiches for The Galtres Festival – bringing Celtic and Gypsy closer together in a new set. We’ll be there all weekend so come and find us at the Arts Barge Project.
If you’re in York next Sunday evening, 21 July, come along to see Leather’o at the Deramore Arms in Heslington. There’s a support act from 8pm then we’ll be stamping our feet and swirling our skirts around 9pm!
Lovely feedback from the wedding ceremony we played at last week, in this room at The Treasurer’s House in York – the groom texts us to say, “Now that the dust has settled, I just wanted to thank you and Bob for the amazing music. Everybody raved about it afterwards and the tunes were absolutely perfect for the day… Thank you so much!”
Here are a few snaps from our busman’s holiday in The Outer Hebrides.
Tunes, Labradors and sunsets… pretty perfect.
Have a listen to our recent recordings. They’re on Soundcloud and our Listen page.
Playing all acoustic, traditional instruments in venues from pubs to major festivals, extensively reworking tunes and songs from the Irish, Scottish and Eastern European traditions.
