2020 was a surreal year. 'An Hour is a Sea' was released amidst the initial chaos in May, and I hope it provided some solace for folk. Sadly no live gigs obviously, but that should happen when things eventually settle down. Big thanks for the support, it means a lot. Stay safe and look out for each other in 2021. x

Thanks to all who came down to the show at the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers last night. Nice work On The Bridges for putting it on. A great night and it was cool to play with the wonderful Loscil.
