A Minute with the Moon

 A few nights ago I noticed the huge-looking, low moon rise straight up the middle of the canal as seen from the bow of my narrowboat home. Now we weren’t intending to do a video for “A Minute in the Sun” from our EP of the same name, in a way because it’s such a simple, relatively unstructured track. But having seen this plaintive but dramatic event I tried to capture it the following night with my phone on a “time-lapse” setting. 

Although this time the moon appeared a bit further over to the right of the shot, I like the way it sort of appears suddenly and then tracks off out of sight and how this could fit nicely with the drama of Dave’s drums & shimmer of his symbol work.

So - an extra EP video! Hope you like it.

BACK!


I was expecting to be writing something positive about tonight on the obligatory blog-post, and not to say I would ever normally write about something as mundane as a standard rehearsal - but this was nothing mundane.

My band of best friends, comrades, who’ve been on adventures together; through  great gigs and shit ones, through packed festivals to torrential wash-outs - we’re back!

Yes, Em’s infamous kitchen of  the “Kitchen Sessions” recordings for an acoustic rehearsal - the 1st time we’ve even seen each other all together since before the pandemic began, we’ve even started work on new material too.

And it was brilliant.
