Our song, Shaking the Dust, was originally inspired by various examples of the shoddy treatment of friends and strangers who have come and contributed so much to the life, history and culture of the UK. We hope it's a songs which can tell more than one story… meleslutra.bandcamp.com/track/shakin...

Just had an amazing weekend at the Sidmouth Jazz & Blues Fest! The seaside town was charming, and the music was phenomenal. Highlights: finally seeing Eric Bibb live, plus Martin Harley and JTQ were incredible. Also loved the educational sessions. #JazzFestival #LiveMusic

The otter, is one of our favourite animals & one of the most joyous sights to be seen in our islands. In this track we try to capture some of their energy and exuberance, the grace with which they move between land and water, and their fun. #WorldOtterDay

So exciting to get a song back from our mixing magician Paul - really pleased with how this one is shaping up. It's inspired by a Celtic saint and hunt saboteur... I got over-excited and made a linoprint for it as well... #Cornwall #FolkMusic

It's now a year since I started learning harp. It's wonderful playing an instrument that sounds lovely even when I play the wrong notes. I'm not the only one in the family who loves playing harp! #Cats #MusicalCats #harp #trouble

Today's #TolkeinReadingDay. We love #LordOfTheRings - in fact, our song The End of the Age was inspired by the Fellowship of the Rings. Its message seems appropriate in these strange and difficult times.
