Unfortunately Mirrored Daughters have had to pull out of supporting Withered Hand for us on the 28th of October at The Victoria in Dalston.

But we're delighted to keep Mirrored Daughters' Mike on the bill and welcome @firestations.bsky.social to the line up.

A quick glimpse behind the scenes of our mini tour in London, Bristol and Norwich from Neil (viola, vocals, vibes). We had a good time! Next gig in Edinburgh on 13 June 🤘

A dreamily stripped-down yet textured @firestations.bsky.social line-up headed a top-drawer triple-bill in Bristol last night, with strong support coming from Melinda Bronstein’s hypnotic loop manipulations and Andy Skellam’s troubadour intimacy.

Firestations on stage at the Hen & Chicken, Bristol, 10 May 2025.

Many White Horses is out now :)))

A nine track album, with songs and instrumentals, some quite sad, some less sad and even hopeful!

The below is a snippet from a forthcoming video by two very talented animators, they’re also making projections for the live show.

Release day for this lovely album from @firestations.bsky.social. Super evocative sketches of life at sea, drifting around the Hebrides. Very, very limited vinyl so get in there while you still can.

This refers to the new @firestations.bsky.social album.

Apparently I have not yet learned to work this platform. 🤦‍♂️

Dave Falconer @dmfalconer.bsky.social · Apr 25

Album indeed- out today and already bought! But there are only 25 copies of the CD available (and 50 LPs) so if you are someone like me who doesn’t buy digital albums you’d better get a wriggle on.

Dave Falconer @dmfalconer.bsky.social · Apr 23

Please take Jonathan's advice and have a go on the Mirrored Daughters (us, Mike @firestations.bsky.social, Marlody) album. It's good!

Live from the garden yesterday, it’s me, Mike, having a little bash at the new song Many White Horses.

Laura and Neil will add all the bells and whistles when we play it live, but this is the bare bones of it as written on a swaying boat last August. Album out this Friday lads! And gigs yeah ;)

Thanks to the more benevolent side of technological advances, recordings of a roaming and domestic provenance are no longer restricted to four-track strummers or those with the resources of rock royalty. Which, means there not many real limits upon those with advanced levels of imagination and ingenuity. As evidenced by the below divergent sonic dispersals.

Many White Horses, the song, is out today on the streamers via Lost Map Records. It’s a dreamy one alright, written on a boat, sailing for the first time.

Many White Horses, the album, is out next Friday.

Many White Horses, the gigs, coming soon too.
