Sparrow and the Workshop are a Scottish/Welsh/American 3-piece from Glasgow, formed in the dew of January 2008, under the heavy fog of yeast from the Tennents Factory.

They play a stripped-down drumkit, a crashbox, a very white bass, a smallish acoustic guitar, a mellow yellow electric slide guitar and occasionally an old french violin alongside boy/girl vocal duets.

NEWS: Jill won Bronze in the 2008 Womens World Stone-Skimming Championships.

Evening people. Just a wee note to say that I uploaded another Glastonbury video here. Hope that's cool. The quality's average but it's one of my favourite tracks. Here you go:

yeah, they use reams of the stuff, but they hardly have the strength to lift it, poor buggers. How was Glasto? Did you meet the Boss.....?!

Hello wonderful musical friends!

Hey, why not read this…
PALACE BALLET UNPLUGGED! ! !
You are cordially invited to join us on monday night (13th JULY) in BOX for a very special and unique 'Unplugged' performance of some of our songs, brand new, and not-so-new. We have put a bullet in the back of the head of some of the old tunes…
It ain’t just a standard acoustic set either (same songs, but a wee bit quieter?). NO!!!!!!!!! For the occasion we have re-arranged the songs with suitable peaks and troughs and extra dashes of drama and diversity. The one previous acoustic show we did was a lovely night where those lucky enough to attend said it was like us, but with added "aw shucks" thrown in.

Hey folks,
Saw the Glastonbury footage, you folks were great. Sorry we didn't get to see on at insider, we had to leave on Friday night.
Hopefully we'll get down tomorrow to Tuts.

Hey guys. I saw you guys at Glasto - I thought your set was great! Shame we couldn't catch you backstage (wasn't allowed until it was our day to play).

Quick tip: If you want to play in Edinburgh, you should think about playing "Acoustic Edinburgh". It's at a nice small venue called Medina, and it has a quiet and attentive crowd, with some good acts. I used to go when I lived there.

I really enjoyed your sets folks. Did you hear your mention on Lamaqc's show last night? About 50 mins in he said you were great, which you were. See you on the John Peel stage next year!!
