Our next gig is at the brilliant Moreton Music Day, Moretonhampstead, on Sunday 5th July!

(PS Please note the Bovey Whiskey Distillery’s open mic night is canceled on Thursday due to the high temperatures. Unfortunately they’re not licensed to open the windows in the evening.)

We're excited to be singing at the Moreton Music Day this year. Moreton Music Day in Moretonhampstead is an annual community-driven, 12-hour free festival, featuring amateur and professional acts across multiple stages. It's always a fun atmosphere and makes for a good day out. We'll be sharing our....

What a fantastic evening last night - sharing songs as well as singing together with the lovely Fran Andre’s community choir Circle of Song at Buckfastleigh’s Moor Imagination Collective. They were an absolute joy to listen to and we enjoyed sharing our set with an appreciative audience.

It wasn’t only heart melting, we were all in a puddle at the end of a very warm evening 🫠 🤪 So very worth it though!

Fran filmed a couple of the songs we sang together, so I hope we’ll be able to share in time.

Next up, the Moreton Music Day on 5th July. ☺️

A couple of fragments from yesterday’s fantastic gig at Exeter Respect Festival. We were the final act on the Stephen Lawrence stage and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Featuring Valerie with Sue on lead and Long Train Running with Ann.

Big thanks also to the festival organisers who had to deal with a lot of rain and wind on day one and still managed to keep smiles on their faces throughout.

We’d love to be back again next year if you will have us. 🙏

What a fabulous gig at Exeter Respect Festival this afternoon. We were the final act on their Stephen Lawrence stage today and had the best time sharing our set!

Although the crowds were thinning with the rain threatening, we had the most appreciative audience.

What a lovely festival, a great community feel and it was an honour to share songs that resonated with the audience.

We were too busy enjoying the vibe and forgot to take any photos or videos ourselves, but apparently a lovely member of the audience is sending some our way and we will hopefully be able to share some evidence to show we woz there. 😅

In the meantime, here is a fab collage from the festival itself.

We loved our fun concert at Sally’s 50th birthday party last weekend, but sometimes we love the ‘after party’ just as much. Apologies for the slightly out of tune singing but you can’t fault Vern for his air guitar prowess! 🎵 🎸

We enjoyed our gig at The New Quay Inn this afternoon. Thanks for having us back there today. Always a great atmosphere and a fantastic setting too. 🎶🎶🎶

This is one of our new favourites (starring our Helen and Vern): Moondance.

Thanks to everyone who came out to listen and support us!
