Harvest Home

First run through of a new tune 'Harvest Home' no vocals yet and the lyrics are a bit bawdy!

The Alice Charmers Gigs

As a forerunner to the release of the forthcoming Alice Charmers EP, "W.C. Hero's" (title to be confirmed) the Charmers are playing loads of gigs. We'll be starting with a candle lit acoustic night at The George in Stockton High Street on the 16th May. We'll be following this with two gigs in York in one night, the 26th May. The first one at the Red Lion on Merchantgate and the second with the incredible Boss Caine at Busk till Dusk, later that night. We will then be supporting the frankly, rather amazing Coco and the Butterfields at The Green Room in Stockton on the 1st of June. And if that's not enough, we have a festival date in July, which we're not allowed to well you about just yet! We'd love to see you at any one of these events.

Oh, its all digital over here!

Apple Scrumptious

This probably the best version of this song that we've done and Carl's mandolin playing makes it

The Road

A bit of vid from Mark at Great North Strum of a version of The Road at a recent practice where I finally got the chords right!!

Apple Scrumpy

Here's some recoverable audio from last nights practice as we worked on 'Apple Scrumpy'.
Not quite there yet, as Mark has to cope with singing my lyrics.
To paraphrase Harrison Ford while speaking to George Lucas, " writing this sh**'s easy, but you try saying it!".
