The "We Happy Few" National Tour 5th to 28th April 18
No rest for us! The day after the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards show we open our tour which goes from the English south coast to the Scottish Cairngorms, and back again. Hopefully you will find a gig near you.
This tour celebrates our latest album "We Happy Few" which has featured as a Songlines Top Of The World Album and earned us a nomination for best band in the Songlines 2018 Awards, and even featured in the British Airways in flight entertainment last year!
We will of course also be playing some new material as well - we always like to keep you on your toes!
