Glastonbury Recordings

Here’s an excerpt from our live set on the Glade Stage at Glastonbury 2010, featuring a new live version of Finished Symphony. A beautiful evening equally matched by the magnificent crowd who decided against seeing Florence And The Machine and came to hang out with us instead. We salute you.

Live Rehearsals

News — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:15:26 +0000

With the first gig in three years looming, we headed off to Dubrek Studios in Derby to rehearse the new live set in readiness for Glastonbury. A fine way to kick off a summer of festivals and a return to playing live after quite a break. With a whole new set of tracks and some specially updated classics, we spent a very warm week annoying the studio’s neighbors with our sound engineer’s huge PA system.

Apologies for the rough sound quality, we do however have a pristine HD recording of the set at Glastonbury which we’ll post very soon. Thanks to J, Jim and Callum at the studio and the astonishingly well connected Mr James Baker for organizing the PA for us to practice through.

We’d just like to thank everyone who came to see us at the Glade stage on Friday, we had an absolutely amazing time and were privileged to have played to such a happy crowd at sunset. We’ve got loads of video footage of the gig and had it specially recorded so we’ll be uploading the edited highlights over the next couple of weeks. Thanks again to the fantastic crowd, you made our weekend!
