Greetings

On Saturday 5th May, we’re totally honoured to be invited to play a stunning venue set up by Cleo Laine and the late Johnny Dankworth, The Stables in Milton Keynes.

This will be a truly special night, one featuring, on the most gorgeous upright bass you’ve ever seen, our lovely new addition Debs Spanton (left – and if you look closely, you’ll see she is introducing her bass to our little boy Euan’s violin). If you only come to hear the heart-wrenchingly beautiful tone of the monster she carries around with her as if it were a piccolo, that’s a good enough reason alone.

We’ll also be playing songs from our new album, due out in September, for the very first time.

Do let us know if you can be with us – a flyer/poster for the event is below.

Lorraine, Jeremy, Shemi, Vincent, and Debs xx
