New single out later this month… but what could it be? For a change, it’s not a traditional tune although it’s certainly has a folky feel.

The saying goes, "A dog is for life, not just for Xmas". In the same way, our spooky song "O Death" is not just for Halloween. If you've not heard it yet, check it out here!

Happy Halloween! If you fancy a spooky tune to go with it, check out our version of the traditional tune O Death. Recorded in one dark evening in the Wold Newton Triangle (look it up!).

We hope you like it! theoldcrowroad.bandcamp.com/music

The band members are standing on Whitby harbour wall with a big storm brewing out to sea. Rachel is in the middle and has her hands in the air as if welcoming the storm.

Some great photos taken at our recent concert at St Mary's Church in South Dalton during a fairly dramatic storm. Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to come and listen!

Guitarist sat on steps, fingerpicking an acoustic guitar. View from behind the stage showing the band looking out towards the audience. The beautiful stained glass window and architecture of St Mary's church can be seen in the background. View from the side of the stage of the band in full flight. View from behind the stage of Rachel of The Old Crow Road. Rob can be seen playing guitar behind her (from this angle) and tapestries can be seen further back still, hanging from the church wall.

An amazing venue for last nights gig - although incredibly cold, with a storm raging outside.

St Mary’s Church, South Dalton, East Riding of Yorkshire

New Release! I Wish The Wars Were All Over
Our new single, "I Wish The Wars Were All Over" is out today on all the major streaming platforms. That said, we'd always prefer you grabbed your copy from Bandcamp so some of your hard earned pennies end up in our pockets, and not those of some shady tech millionaire. Click to get your copy

Valid point.

If you care about a singer and/or band, get their music from BandCamp - that way they get paid fairly for their work.

And if you can’t do that then at least avoid Spotify - worst of the lot!

Last month, 91031 streams = £94.76 in royalties. If only NINE people downloaded an album on Bandcamp, I’d make the same. TODAY is BANDCAMP Friday. ✨
