We are currently working towards the band's first album, which we expect to complete in the next few months. We put up three tracks here over Christmas 2006 representing work in progress... but they came down with the decorations on Twelfth Night. I'm afraid you'll have to get the CD to hear them now! If you would like to be notified when the CD is ready, use the Contact link and email the band.

Cold Wind (2007)

We are very grateful to Chris Richardson who made a video of us playing on a sunny afternoon at the St Julians club in Kent in August 2005 and a second video on August 28, 2006 and yet a third in August 2007. The 2007 is still in a rough form as Chris rushed it out so that Dixon could see it before he headed back to the States.

The first of the three is the 2007 video of Cold Wind. This starts of with some atmospheric shots of the sights and sounds of the Bluegrass Day, including quite a few well-known bluegrassers; see who you can recognise!


Prison Walls of Love (2005)

I think that my favourite moment in this video is the cut to the lady reading a book... In case you are wondering where our banjo player has got to, this was in the period when we were seeking one, before Dixon joined us. There is plenty of Dixon in the other two videos...

If I remember rightly, we had no idea that Chris was making a video, so it was a great (and very pleasant) surprise when it turned up some months later.


Till the Day I Die (2006)

There may be some more video of the band available in the near(ish) future as our Nov 2007 gig at the King's Arms, Saffron Walden was recorded in its entirety. As that was our last gig with Dixon, we are all looking forward to seeing it.

If there is no invitation to play the videos to the left of this text, click here for the 2005 video and here for 2006 and here for 2007 to visit You Tube.
