All stone cold bangers. But I’ve always wondered who is singing them. And some of the songs are pretty obscure, but no info about where they came from.

FOLKIES! Long-shot, but does anyone know anything about this album called ‘Bygone Christmas’. It’s been a big festive favourite in my family for years. 24 unaccompanied songs in 3-part harmonies, carols and Christmassy folk songs, but no info on the liner notes about who is singing.

We’ve played our annual Christmas knees-up for years at The Crescent, York. We’ve sold it out on the night before, but never over a week in advance. What a thrill. So looking forward to playing a few festive favourites in York and Stowmarket this weekend.

Having forgotten that Elf on the Shelf begins tomorrow, this was quite a weird thing to walk in on at 1.30am after a gig and a two hour drive. It seems Dolly is losing strip Uno badly.

It was lovely to meet Lucy last night. Her first gig and her 8th birthday. Is it obvious that she rather idolises Laura?
