tour pictures

Over the bank holiday weekend I finally managed to get some pictures uploaded from the tour over the summer – a couple of selected favourites are below but there’s loads more in the gallery. I also got bored and made a video of what we got up to in Wales between the gigs, I’ve been told its vaguely entertaining so check it out… Also who knew ‘sustenance’ was spelt like that?

I also made these little animations from the Bridgewater photos, mainly for my own entertainment. Each is a little disconcerting in its own unique way…

frolics in south wales

Probably should have posted this a bit sooner (sorry…) but wanted to write to say what an amazing time we had in South Wales last Tuesday and Wednesday! Thanks to Alistair and the team at Dempseys in Cardiff and to Dave and everyone at Swansea Jazzland for having us, we really enjoyed ourselves and hope you and the audience did too – hopefully be back soon…

We spent the day in between the two gigs camping and hanging out in the countryside outside Carmarthen at Sam Andreae’s uncle’s amazing house (thanks again for hosting us Mike & Celia!), complete with ping-pong, pool, darts, bbq, campfire and lake – equipped with rowing boat and kayak. Hopefully more photos of our exploits to come, but these videos of Sam Healey (saxophone) and Paul Strachan (bass trombone) attempting to get to grips with the kayak should give you some idea of what we got up to!

Once again, cheers to everyone we met – can’t wait til we come back!
