It was a music celebration of Edward Thomas held the night before the annual Edward Thomas symposium. His great and great great grand daughters came along which was amazing.

We are doing a little return jaunt back from Somerset to Oxford at the end of this month to continue our musical celebration of Edward Thomas and his book ‘In Pursuit Of Spring’.

Super happy to announce that we will be ending the tour at the delightful Story Museum in Oxford on Saturday 31st May at 8pm.

Do come – you can get tickets from here – http://www.oxfordplayhouse.com/ticketsoxford/index.aspx#event=18802

To our delight she has agreed to come on the next Pedal Folk tour.

Above is a photo of her and Tim learning some new tunes on a lazy Sunday morning in Bath at Tim’s place.

Now we just need to work out if we are going to do a show in Salisbury or have the night off!

The beer garden looks ace – I hope it is this sunny when we are there in April.

We are working on a track called ‘Leaving London’ which is based on the chapter in ‘In Pursuit Of Spring’ where he is leaving London… Clever song name, hey?

You can hear a little demo of part of it here and a recording we did of John Ball on a cold Sunday morning.

Please note the change of Bath gig venue. The old place has closed down.

Not sure if I am allowed to invite people along who don’t live there but worth dropping us a cheeky line if you are in the area and fancy it – 2pm on Friday 30th August in Westbury-on-Trym, north Bristol.

I hope they like it! My grandparents tend to prefer Frank Sinatra or Bach to folk music…

We’ve gigs already lined up for Bath, Bristol, Stroud and Swindon. Just need a couple more now. Lovely!
