Thanks so much to everyone who came to see us in Banbury last night. What a pleasure it was to perform our songs and read poems to you.

It's all very well getting down with the kids, as long as you're confident that the getting up again will be graceful. Which it was.
Their brilliant summer single Portland Town now on the Late Show, as they're off to the USA in 2026 and we may never see them again.

A slow response to such exciting news from @skepwax.bsky.social – I’ve been trying to find the right words. Corrugated, morose, gherkin, squeamish and balustrade, for example, are not the right words. But they’ll have to do, or else you might miss out on something I know will be totally corrugated.
