Blatant refresh.

Have just had a review of the CD from Mike O'Connor (Crowdercref on this forum) in which he says:

"'Silver, Stone & Sand' is a most enjoyable listen; the songs are infectious and deserve to be widely 'sung out'. Andrew and Carole are particularly adept at writing and performing songs to make you smile and songs to make you join in. The complete set paints a vivid picture of times past with a broad spectrum of musical colours. For example, the delightful 'Captain Courtney's Mistake' stands in contrast to the atmospheric 'Closing of the Day'. The songs are all very different, but all are well observed and well crafted."

Mike is highly regarded as a performer (he worked with Martyn Wyndham Read for several years) as a songwriter ('Carrying Nelson Home') and as a record producer, so if he's happy, we're happy.

If you're not comfortable buying from the website (it's painless really) we'll be at Bude Folk Festival shortly, and at Bideford in August. Hope to see some of you there.
