lyrics
buy track
We used to meet up, once a year Shoot the breeze, have a beer But Summer doesn't know me, anymore Recall the days we were thick as thieves? Stealing time 'neath shady trees But Summer doesn't know me, anymore Stick your memories in a box Douse it light it, change the locks Cos Summer, doesn't know you, anymore A little bird said you headed South But I don't need word of mouth, to tell me Summer doesn't know me, anymore

about

'An Extended Play' EP was originally released in July 2016 and is finally available, pretty obviously, on Bandcamp. This EP was the fore-runner to our final band album ('We Weathered The Storm') from last year, featuring as it does, full band treatments for some of our favourite songs.
"Nigel's songs - always full of warmth, wit, melancholy and melody - are re-imagined with help from talented musician friends and even a choir in Sun Street. This is songwriting at its finest, but don't just take our word for it"

‘this is indie-folk music from the heart and I say give it a go’ Johnno Casson, BBC Fresh On The Net

‘Like a lost track off Abbey Road’ @coffeehopper

‘(The Low Countries)...revisiting an older number with considerable aplomb, it bodes well for their forthcoming self-titled album’ Rock ‘n’ Reel Magazine

‘Excellent live, and if you think indie folk can't do a BIG sound then think again’.. @BigJimCambo

‘Sonic bliss’ Ola’s Kool Kitchen

‘Rousing delivery’ Unsigned and Independent

‘Such a shaggable voice’ (anon)

'Music that makes the world a better place' Indie Bands Blog
