The album is coming along nicely. Today we mixed a brand new version of Slow Slow! Sounding like single material! We’ll keep you posted.

 

Gig in Cardiff tomorrow supporting Dan and Pip. Look forward to seeing some of you there!

Ferry is constantly adding to his life experience. Here’s a shot of some mean perpendicular van parking outside the house we stayed in last night. p.s. thanks to Sophie for having us!

And finally, the infamous “Rum Shake”:



That’s 7 people. Not quite a record attempt. Let’s see what we can do in Liverpool.
