Autumn Tour

Adrian is at Budhafields festival playing with Mog (Bodhran maker and teacher) and so I'm catching up on all things Brawly and adminny. We seem to have quite a healthy Autumn tour schedule, and dates are coming in for next year.

This may be more of a Laura Blog than Horses Brawl, but having said that.... we have just had a 5 date tour of Devon confirmed for 15th - 19th October which is very exciting.

Also on the cards is a workshop at The Hexham Abbey Festival in association with NEEMF North Eastern Early Music Forum, plus a side project we're calling TUNE-UP Folk Day, which is happening on November 1st at the Raveningham Centre in South Norfolk. This is much more traditional folk than HB stylee, and will include the first ever rehearsal of the TUNE-UP Folk Orchestra.

Two swifts just flew into the house and sat in the pepper plants we're growing on the windowsill. Yesterday one flew into the door (french window) and almost had cartoon stars and birds spinning round it's head, it got better and waddled off into the grass. See that wasn't about the band, but I was in the middle of doing tour stuff when it happened.

I listened to very rough versions of our newest pieces just now and I'm really excited to see what people think when it's all done!
