Lovely old needle tin.

Washing Up

Newly found records get a wash.

Port Eliot 2015

Last summer at the Port Eliot festival we were playing by the river on the Sunday evening. Around 7.00pm the tide rose....and rose...and rose. We realised that there was no need to move as we are a purely mechanical outfit so stayed put. Here's Mike playing on.

A Wet One !

This weekend we played a wedding at Prussia Cove in Cornwall. The weather was lovely apart from a 5 minute downpour. As we don't need electricity we were able to carry on through the rain !

Bing !

With a wedding to be played very soon it was great to find this Bing Crosby 78 from the film Waikiki Wedding. Recorded in 1937 with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. If the sun shines this will be perfect.
