Over the weekend we'll be on a couple of radio programmes.  Firstly, we play a couple of live songs on The House of Mercy radio show, which we recorded with the Willard Grant Conspiracty in September.  The show is broadcast at midnight on Saturday, and other times over the weekend.  There are more details at the House of Mercy Website.

Then on Monday night we'll be live guests on Bill Morris' show on Celtic Music Radio.  This show is live from the Bon Accord pub in Glasgow and we'll be playing a live set and (hopefully) getting to play some records.  Morris' Mash starts at 8pm GMT and you can listen here

Here's to the Weekend!

Our tour with the Willard Grant Conspiracy is well underway.  As usual we started with the intention of writing a lot of blogs but these just aren't feasible but updates via twitter probably are.  Lets see how we get on....We've put a twitter modulke thing to the right of this page which looks like the rest of the site but its really twitter!
