Hello everyone,
I hope you’re all well and looking after one another.
We’re just approaching the anniversary of the first lockdown in the UK.
I can’t believe it's been nearly one whole year since my last gig - Glasgow on 7th of March with my quartet.
2020 started with great optimism, and actually saw some landmark moments for me, but what has been so difficult is the way that my gigs keep being cancelled. In just the last couple of weeks I’ve had work cancelled as far ahead as July and there is still no sign of when it will be safe for concerts to return.
I’ve been working hard at home producing new music and I have done a couple of streaming gigs, but it’s just not the same without all of you.
For this Bandcamp day I’ve raided my merch cupboard at home and discovered that I still have 12 A Shoal of Souls T-shirts, which I had been selling exclusively at gigs.
I’ve decide to make these available on Bandcamp today. The 100% heavyweight black cotton shirts feature an image from Sophie Bass’s beautiful cover art and they are made by No Sweat, an ethical UK based company fighting sweatshop labour.

There were only 50 of these shirts ever made and the sizes I have left are six size XS, and six size S.
Just to let you know, these are not tight fitting garments, the XS I wear myself is still pretty loose!
So, since this whole situation has gone on much longer than any of us could have foreseen I thought I would make When We Were Live available again for this weekend. Maybe you could pretend you’re at a live gig, grab a beer, have a dance and then visit the merch store and bag yourself a T-shirt :)
Thank you all so much for your support over the last year. There will be new music and merch coming soon and the Polyhymnia Remixed vinyl should be on its way to you later this month.
Wishing you a great weekend.
