At long last the new album has a UK release date of the 10th May. There will hopefully be some long overdue UK dates, who knows, maybe even a little tour. Seeing as Evermine never came out over here this will be the first since Songs Without Words in 2003. I’m approaching Blue Nile levels of tardiness here, but with the next album already written there can be no excuses for such a prolonged absence again, and if there is, I promise I’ll get a note from my mom.

For several years the Armfield family have recorded their version of a Christmas classic. Here for your delight (?) are a selection by Gina, Alice, Wilf and myself. I hope you all have a wonderful time and I hope to see you next year.
