T H A N K Y O U !! To everyone that has been with us on this tour across the UK. Huge thank you to @aceagrams & @manchesterjazzfestival, whose funding brought this tour off the ground and to all the promoters & venues - that is @themusicpowerhouse, @tightlinesmusic, @lancasterjazz @oxjazzsoc, Philip Clouts & @marinetheatrelymeregis, @iceman_furniss, Jeff's house @beyondalbedo, @thecumberlandarms @londonjazzfest @awoodheadmusic, @tonydudley.evans, @joeeganguitar Corey Mwamba and Derby Jazz. To the bands who shared bills with us and everyone at the shows as well as those sending long distance goodness to us. It has been inspiring, challenging and life affirming although they say all things must end I do wish we were still on tour. Please send us your pictures, videos and t-shirt selfies if you have any! Excited for 2020 now. Where should we go next? EMOTIONS! Love Archipelago ❤️ 📷Ian Evans https://www.instagram.com/p/B6QX_M_gp3_/?igshid=jukpf49gti3e

Our @fayierze getting a mention in this article for a German national newspaper! Big thanks to Kevin Le Gendre for the shout out amongst some very cool names. #Repost @fayierze with @get_repost ・・・ Wow, first time being featured in an international newspaper, nevermind in the same article as Jason Yarde, Sons of Kemet and Camilla George! This is an article on UK jazz in German paper Die Zeit, thanks to Kevin Le Gendre! It's in German so y'all got no idea what I said, but I was talking about the creative hub of Newcastle and my absolutely vague brexit thoughts.
