Eve Selis

We loved this gig, supporting Eve Selis at Fibbers. If you've not come across her, you're missing out. An absolutely fantastic performer! Thanks to those of you who came down to support us - we really enjoyed playing.

Our next trip out is in York at the Festival of Rivers this coming Saturday (18th July).

And don't forget our single launch gig on 24th July at The Duchess in York......

Fairport Convention at the Duchess

Please forgive us for banging on about this gig, but what an ace time we had! Our evening with Fairport Convention was a huge buzz for us (and we'd like to think it was for them too!!).

We had to pinch ourselves a few times, thinking about how we've been listening to them for years and then suddenly we're sharing their stage!

Thanks to all of you who came down - there were quite a few familiar faces which was lovely for us.

The Fairport Convention guys were so lovely and welcoming, we were immediately put at ease and we felt able to eat their crisps. Our set went well and it was a fabulous experience to play at the Duchess for the first time (good practice for 24th July!). And the two FC sets were just as good as ours ;-) Seriously, everyone there had a fabulous time and 'Meet on the Ledge' and 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes' almost made us cry (almost - we're tough Yorkshire girls). A night that will be long remembered and will go in the memoirs when we're famous.

We should mention our mates Geoff and Steve who are ancient Fairport fans. They delighted us with their gift (sported by H) which will be worn at all gigs from now on (and on chilly festival nights!). Thanks boys, we now look the busines!

The very next day we were playing at Wychwood Festival in Cheltenham. Despite all the motorways being closed there and back (!) this was a great experience for us. Needless to say, Sunday is being spent soaking up the sun.

Hope to see you all on 24th July at The Duchess, York.

Bonkers!

We've had a busy few weeks, recording our second album and doing gigs. But not too busy to pop into Vixen 101 Radio in Market Weighton to have a cup of tea and a chat with Bill. Here's what he kindly said about us...""Charming, delightful and slightly bonkers"

But then he went on to say...."Not only are Helen and Sharon extremely talented; their vocal harmonies complementing each other perfecly, they are also down-to-Earth girls who are genuinely likeable and a pleasure to chat to. They are more than welcome to return to our studios in the future"

Cheers Bill, we will be back!!

We are also recovering from a late night at the Ropewalk in Barton on Humber. Lovely, lovely place to play and we saw some fantastic musicians there too - made us rush home to practise and write more songs......!We look forward to seeing the same crowd at the Beverley Folk Festival.

See ya,S and H

BIG BIG news!

We don't want to go over the top about this but..... woooo hooooo.

We are supporting the mighty Fairport Convention in May at the Duchess. This is fabulous news for us and we haven't stopped jumping around yet......

More news to follow when we've calmed down.....

Black Swan gig 4th April

A big thanks to everyone who came down to the Black Swan for our gig with Miles Cain. We do appreciate everyone's support!

And if you didn't make it, you missed our big plug for 24th July at The Duchess in York. More on this as the date draws near.

We are currently still in the studio and we reckon we're about half way through the second album. We are delighted that some guest musicians have joined up for some of the tracks - we can't wait to hear the finished product. There will be some sneak preview tracks available shortly so look out for our messages about those.

Cheers for now,

Sharon and Helen xx

Otley was great!

.. So Otley was a fun night - We thoroughly enjoyed the Troubadours who guested for us. We are fans (although Sharon is still hogging Helen's copy of their CD). Thanks if you made it down..
same time same place next Month - (2nd April)

We are also looking forward to playing York again (its been a wee while) on Saturday 4th April.

Meanwhile we are back in the studio polishing up a couple of new tracks - if we get out act together they may be available for down load one of these days.
No doubt we will be letting you know when that happens!

Embracing The Space

TWO have been busy. (with their non-TWO lives) Helen nearly told Sharon that she was missing her - but realised that sounded false... She was missing TWO. Sharon felt sorely upset but got over it very quickly.

Our BIG news is that we have just ordered some... wait for it... PURPLE sticky labels for our leads and stands. Never will we leave anything behind again. (Sharon tries to leave Helen most times but now Helen will have a label too.)

PLEASE come to the Red Lion on Thursday 5th March where we will be remembering all our old favourite tunes and a few new ones too.
