We’ve had a little while off while Jack has been away touring with Danserye in Germany and Switzerland but we had our first gig of the year yesterday, which was very exciting! We performed an arrangement of two of our songs with David Le Page’s string quintet, formed of Harborough Collective members. More about that here:  http://www.harboroughconcerts.co.uk/page34.html We had a brilliant time, ate some very beautiful meringue swans and hope to do it all (and more) again in the future! Watch this space.

Over the winter months we have been busy booking gigs for the coming year, see our gig page for more details, there are more in the pipeline so we’ll keep updating regularly.  We have also finally sorted out our (drumroll) mailing list, the first mailout went today. If you’d like to be included in the list then please send an email to jackmcneillandcharlieheys@hotmail.co.uk… The mailings in the future will include exclusive videos and all our news : )

Charlie has also learned that it is unnecessary, and therefore a risk, to artificially hibernate a hermanns tortoise born and bred in the UK. Spread the word.

Samson the tortoise
