August 8th, 2011

Hello hello!

Hope you’re all well, we’re both in the middle of quite a busy summer – plenty gigs, and time off in between spent planning for next year (yes, we’re aware it’s still summer, but at the rate this year’s going 2012 isn’t far away)!

We had a lovely gig in the Irvine Folk Club a couple of weeks ago, a great time up in Stonehaven at the folk festival there in the beginning of July, and have a busy couple of weeks up ahead. Next Saturday (August 20) we’re at the Innerleithen Folk Festival, and then the night after we’re playing a gig in the fantastic setting of the New Cample Farm Shop, just outside Thornhill in Dumfries and Galloway, hosted by Emily Smith and Jamie McClennan – should be a cracking weekend! Then on the Thursday after (August 25) we’re at the Star Folk Club, at St. Andrews in the Square, in Glasgow, then up bright and early the following morning to head off to Norway for a weekend of gigs at Nordsjofestivalen (The North Sea Festival) in Farsund.

Next year we’re touring quite a bit throughout the UK, so if you have a venue in mind and would like us to come visit, get in touch with our agent Craig, who will see if we can make it work. In April we’re touring England (with limited dates remaining), followed by a tour of Scotland in May. After the summer and the madness of another festival season we’ll be back on the road in England in September. We hope to see as many of you out and about as possible!

If there’s any venues or towns you would like us to visit, get in touch with Craig at TwentyTwo Promotions – craig@twentytwopromotions.com – and we’ll hopefully see you there.

Take care,

Jeana and Siobhan xx
