A lovely evening was had at Fell Foot Wood for Inverted Grim-Mill In The Woods. It was wonderful to be able to play the ‘Pancosmodrome’ along with a sunset in the forest, and among good folks. Finally met Barry The Blackwood Baptist too, and The Moon Pool spirits were something to behold. Thanks to Jonas of Inverted Grim-Mill Recordings for organising and all the other acts, who were ace.

2020 was a surreal year. 'An Hour is a Sea' was released amidst the initial chaos in May,  and I hope it provided some solace for folk. Sadly no live gigs obviously, but that should happen when things eventually settle down. Big thanks for the support, it means a lot. Stay safe and look out for each other in 2021. x

Thanks to all who came down to the show at the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers last night. Nice work On the Bridges for putting it on. A great night and it was cool to play with the wonderful Loscil.
