Feeling festive after tree decorating with help from a 2 year old and showing him twinkly lights on the way home. Ready for our festive Bluebell Roots gig on Sunday.

Megan is really enjoying Hastings’ live music scene. We are too. Two wonderful gigs within a very short walk of each other - Jude Brothers at The Jenny Lind and Rob Corcoran at Noah’s Goat wine shop. Someone said the other day she has the best ears in Hastings! Here she is listening to Rob C

On Friday, Milton Hide moved back to our spiritual home of Hastings, after being away for 35 years! This morning we wandered down to the old town, said ´hello’ to loads of people and breathed in the sea air😁❤️

The beauty of our Bluebell Roots nights is not just the wonderful music ( thank you @chriscleverley.bsky.social) or the delicious food, it’s the amazing people all brought together through music.
Next event 7Dec, bluebellroots.co.uk

Yesterday in the sunshine we finally scattered the ashes of this little guy’s best friend/arch enemy. He’s been our shadow since the day we said goodbye.

We spent a pleasant Saturday morning performing outside Tenterden Museum. Small town and village museums are brilliant resources that need to be celebrated.
That’s our final gig in the diary ‘til spring. Now: recording, writing, admin … and recharging

Our final gig of 2025 will 🍎 #AppleDay 🍏 at Tenterden Museum, Sat 18th October. Come and join us!
It's an annual celebration of apples, orchards and their place in our cultural history. None of our songs feature apples so might need to adapt some lyrics! 😀

What’s better than a model village? A model village with a miniatures exhibition! Visited Bourton on the Water on our short break in the Cotswolds.

It’s amazing what you can fit into one weekend. 5 sets in 3 venues 168 miles apart, new people, new sites, new knowledge gained and shared. Grateful for these opportunities and the people who create them.

How beautiful is this Lowestoft venue!? East Point Pavilion, Suffolk. Obviously not the best acoustics but the sound crew did a grand job. We did 2 sets and had a blast. Then travelled back to Sussex for Bluebell Roots.

Blew away the cobwebs after a long drive to Suffolk with a walk at Oulton Broad. Storm Amy whipping up the water and rattling the reeds.
