Middlewich '25

 Updated 22/06/2025 to include link to full interview) 

This year's Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival had moved slightly to the fields just outside of the town to mark bigger & better ambitions for this well established event.

It had been, to be honest, a stressful run up to this event with next to no communication about stage set up, let alone a stage manager or sound engineer to liaise over our tech-spec options. As a result, we got our producer-guy and good friend José Manu Arteaga to step into the breech as sound engineer to make good of what we had, I gigged for the 1st time through my "new" Marshal combo, actually rescued, almost unbelievably, from the big skips I live near to - and all was well that ended well, with a lovely warm crowd and enormous help with all the staging and equipment issues from our fellow musicians who all rallied round to help each other. 

Thanks to everyone who came along and gave us a good time (thanks too, to the mayfly - see last photo). 

Top merch team!

The bridge in our song After the Morrow Moon
uses the analogy - "we dance for just one day the free mayfly". Well, this mayfly joined us
 on stage for the duration of our show.

Updated 22/06/2025 to include top 2 photos from Barn54

Tonight, me and Dave had the absolute pleasure of joining German duo Barn54 again on the Conwy stop of their European Tour at Y Gloch Las. 

Simon & Sina are such special people who make beautiful music & share their sounds & stories from their camper van as they tour almost incessantly all over Europe. 

It was a delight for both of us Yella fellas  to join them as some bandee extras for the night.

The biggest challenge for me was that I've only ever played one song with them, on or off stage, before! So - I did a bit of homework but there was certainly a bit of a seat-of-the-pants element on my part, but I hopefully got away with it. 

Beautiful stuff and a lot of fun with our new friends.

The listening Stool

 Today was another special studio day, this time in just sitting and listening to the (almost) finalised mixes for the Fox Barn Studios part of the coming EP. 

One track stood out as a potential, though perhaps unusual lead single. 

Afterwards I missed my train by 6 minutes so Dan & I were forced, unwittingly - to the pub! 

Updated 18/05/2025

The band-gang have approved the mixes so the next stage is mastering. 

Outboard spring reverb deployed! 

Automated reverb on lead
vocals - now that's perfectionism!
