Footage from Cherry’s Bar in Hull last month - jolly party track O Death. Top marks for Tracey re-assembling her fiddle during the intro!

It's #BandcampFriday ! To celebrate, I've popped a limited edition clear vinyl repress of The Pendulum Swing on there PLUS you can now pre-order my new album via Bandcamp. Sure, your wrapped stats are wonderful, but today's a chance to support those artists in real time. katherinepriddy.bandcamp.com

Hello! A slightly late reminder that it's Bandcamp Friday.

If you were thinking about getting a copy of our cover of @waterboysmusic.bsky.social 's classic Fisherman's Blues, then there's never been a better time!

Fisherman’s Blues
Our latest single is our take on The Waterway’s classic track Fisherman’s Blues. We often play this one live if we feel our set it getting a bit dark, which it can do! The original was …

The band stand on a sea wall with a stormy seascape behind them. The singer reaches upwards towards a logo saying "Fishermans Blues"

The words “Fisherman’s Blues” hang in a stormy sky above the band. Rachel, the singer, holds her hands aloft.

Another clue…
A hurtling, fevered train crashing headlong into the heartland, like a cannon in the rain.

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

So, if you were toying with buying one or more of our lovely songs (or anyone else's), then today would be a great time!

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

The interior of St Mary’s church showing a high vaulted ceiling, pews and an intricately tiled floor. Tracey, the violinist with The Old Crow Toad can be seen walking down the aisle to where a PA system is being set up.
