My Song Stables was used in this Land Grab animation for Oxfam. It's such a beautiful animation and a sad and worthwhile cause that I'd urge you to get involved in.

Just a quick note to say playing at the Albert Hall was amazing, thanks so much to ForFolksSake for inviting us to play, all the people who came to watch and the staff.

Joe Innes and Mary Epworth (and her amazing band) both played sensational and unique sets, I'd recommend you go and see them ASAP.

We've decided to start a new Song a Week project! Here’s the deal, we’ll be writing and recording a brand new song every week and putting it on Soundcloud and putting the lyrics up here. We’ll also be collaborating with some awesome acts and I’ll try and write a bit about each song. All songs will be recorded by us at Watchmen Studios! Let’s see where this goes…..
