about

A heck of a lot has gone into the making of this cd; more than we could ever have imagined when we first embarked on this journey. Some massive events have changed us and, by default, shaped our music, during the making of this record. One delay after another came along unexpectedly and, there were times when we wondered if it was ever going to get done. But, we believed in these recordings and so, time after time, we dusted ourselves down and picked up where we’d left off: there was no way we were going to be deterred!!

Luke and Mike: You captured our live performances using vintage microphones in an ancient barn in Bangor, North Wales, over 3 separate recording sessions and you moulded them carefully and compassionately into a sound that we are proud of. Your encouragement and belief, under the most exceptionally difficult circumstances, kept us going when it might have been easier to give up. We will never be able to thank you enough!!

Gareth: you Mastered our recordings as though you'd been waiting for us! Thank you for your skill, patience and encouragement!

We are sooooooo grateful to our friend Mark Erelli for infusing our music with his magic from across the Atlantic Ocean. You raised the bar; we are honoured indeed!!

To you, the Good Listener: We only play music that moves us emotionally and takes us, willingly, out of our comfort zone. Everything we have to offer is on this record; even the tweeting of the birds that sang along with us!!
We hope this CD has the same effect on you, too.
Because we are nothing without YOU. You come to our gigs, you share our journey and you give us a reason to keep on keeping on. Our message to you is clear and simple: From the bottom of our hearts: Thank You!!

This album is dedicated to our dear, departed Mums:
Freda “Mrs. Never Better’ Baker (1925 – 2014)
Margaret Beryl Wakefield (1931-2018)
