Hi there! We've got a new EP that we're especially proud of called Summer which is the second in our series of seasonal EPs this year. We'd love for you to listen to the EP online, and to do so, just click on the graphic below. If you like what you hear, we'd be very grateful if you'd support our efforts by buying the EP for €2.50 (around $3.20).
Hope all is going great for you. Thanks for being our friend!
Hello guys - thanks for the add - it is most appreciated. You have some great stuff up there and we look forward to hearing more from you. Hope you like our rough stuff too! With very best wishes.
Hi all, We’re having a folky picnic and playing some songs at Tutbury Castle (not a pub, a real castle) on the afternoon of Sunday Sept 7th. Please come along! ..
Just to confirm, I got my End of the Road ticket today. My friends Pablo and Frances have got theirs too and I'm trying to talk Alex and Claire Twisty into going.
Hi , Best address the Scritti Politti query to the zatcb site. Paul used to be a renowned black hole for other peoples records . If its the Confidence EP, I taped it off him , so ta for that! Steve
