'Simon and the Witch' is currently just me, Andrew.
I also sing and play the guitar in Gwildor.
Gareth helped me out by playing organ on 'The hand that wrote the letter' and also the second guitar part on 'Farewell all you fishermen'.
My first gig will be under a thatch roof at a great little night (fittingly) called Under the Thatch Roof, in Wrexham in September 2009. I'm looking for equally interesting venues to play so get in touch.
I'm afraid to say 'Farewell all you fishermen' is yet another sea obsessed track.
I think I'd like a little house somewhere on the west Wales coast. Maybe that way I would stop writing songs about the sea! Who knows.

Ben and Andy from wrexhammusic. co. uk will be announcing the bill for Wrexham's Good Times festival. Ectogram's Ann Matthews delivers one of her excellent audio blogs. Soundhog will be waxing audio about something old and inspirational.
