RINGLEFINCH

Happy Valentine’s Day, dear reader!

OK, it’s been a little while since we said “Hello!”, but don’t think that means we don’t love you any more… Behind the scenes we’ve been hard at work on the album – writing, arranging, recording, and building a recording studio(!) – and things are shaping up very excitingly! Here’s a snap of William hard at work at our most recent recording session last weekend:

We’re going to be debuting some of our new material over the next couple of months, and we’ve got some great gigs coming up that we’d love to see you at – including our first ever show in Brighton!

Wednesday 11th April – Folkroom London at The Harrison, Kings Cross, London (with Jelly Cleaver, Nick Dudek and Matthew Shepherd)
Thursday 12th April – Folkroom by Sea Brighton at The Village, Brighton (with Martha Bailey and others TBC)
Sunday 13th May (afternoon gig) – Softly Softly at Kiss The Sky, Crouch End

Finally, we were going through the archives recently and stumbled across a gem of a live video from the Magic Garden in Battersea of us performing Nick Edward Harris’ atmospheric classic ‘Angra Mainyu’ with our good friend Emily Mae Winters. Enjoy!

Hello! We have a couple of special gigs coming up that we’re bursting to tell you about and aching to see you at!
We’re playing one of our more epic gigs on Sunday 30th July when we’ll be performing two 45 minute sets at the Lamb in Surbiton. So if you have a favourite Ringlefinch song, the chances are we’ll be playing it!

Then on Saturday 5th August, the folks behind the legendary Folkroom and Before The Goldrush nights are joining forces to stage a variety show, featuring a pub quiz, live comedy and music, at The Harrison near King’s Cross. We’ll be providing the music and maybe some humour too (some of it possibly even intentional!).

Hello there! Now that winter is over, warblers are warbling, cuckoos are cuckoo-ing and it won’t be long before we hear the first Ringlefinch of the spring. A little bird tells us that this will happen at the monthly Folking Around night at Woodys Bar & Kitchen in Kingston-upon-Thames on Wednesday 3rd May. Alongside old favourites we’ll be giving a first live airing to some new songs from our upcoming debut album which we can’t wait to share with you later this year as it’s sounding epic!
