Delighted to announce our March tour! It will be the last Edgelarks tour for the foreseeable, so it would be particularly great to see you there. We’re not ending our Edgelarks project - we’ll still be making music, content, and doing online concerts for our subscribers, so that’s a good way to stay in touch. But the last couple of years have changed the landscape unimaginably for us, so while we hope to pop up for the odd festival and such, this will be the last tour we’ll be able to do for a good while. So see you there!

Our friends @katiehickling and Dylan made us this lemon curd for Christmas, and it’s like a wonderful shot of sunshine. Much needed this morning as it’s back to work time and somehow the words “tax return” have snuck up on us 😵😅

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for our Solstice Celebration last night!

We’re going to be switching off for a while over the holidays, but here’s one last announcement before we go. Perfect for last minute gift buyers… We’re doing a Really Epic @peterknightsgigspanner Big Band tour next spring! Hope to see you there ❤️🎶🎵🎟️🎙️

Inspired by my friend Rosie’s felt creations, I made my sister @harrietemma93 some festive Sam and Pip decorations. To celebrate her sprollies and her first Christmas living in her new place. She in turn made us our first festive dinner of the season - it was truly belt-loosening 😍

Hope you’re all keeping safe out there, do join us for our Edgelarks Christmas do on Tuesday - an online concert to celebrate the solstice! We’ll be improvising a one off special piece, and then doing a second set of favourites to round off the year.

Free for subscribers, and all ticket holders will be able to watch and re-watch it for the next few weeks, so you can still join us even if you aren’t free Tuesday!

Thanks to @thefolkforecast for including our winter solstice celebration in their excellent listings!

There’s a lot on over the next few days, so just a reminder that ticket holders will be able to watch and re-watch our concert at their leisure as we will be leaving it up for the duration of the Christmas season.

See you all on Tuesday!

Huge thanks to @freshonthenet for featuring us on his @bbc6music show tonight! He played our track “Yarl’s Wood” from a live session we did for him a couple of years ago. Thanks to all who are ordering CDs as we speak, very glad to provide gift inspiration 😘

If you’d like to hear more, join us for our special winter solstice celebration online concert next Tuesday 21st, live by candlelight ☃️☃️☃️

Finally got our tree up! Topped with Rosa’s first special decoration courtesy of @gallivant_and_nest (she loves it, thank you ❤️)

We’ll be serenading you from in front of the tree to celebrate winter solstice on December 21st. We plan to improvise a special one off piece, before doing a second set full of favourites. The show will be available to watch and re-watch for the whole midwinter season, if you can’t make it on the night. It’s a free concert for our subscribers, or you can get tickets:

A Christmassy rummage around has revealed I have a limited amount of ‘folk cards’ available, so I’ve popped them in our online shop ☃️🤶

Have a browse…

Right, woodburner on, searching for the decorations box, starting to feel seasonal now!

I’ve just realised I haven’t posted you a Sam update in an age, and I’ve had a couple of people ask after him at gigs recently, so here’s a little update:

Sam (on the left) has recently relocated to East Devon (hoorah!) and now lives with fellow sprolly Pip (on the right). Pip is somewhat younger than Sam, who is becoming a bit of a grand old man, and who has a clear terror of Rosa pulling his ears. Pip, however, is thoroughly interested in Rosa, and although he was kept strictly away when she was smaller, the interest now appears to be mutual. There was a very exciting toe-licking incident recently. I think Pip may start to regret his enthusiasm for Rosa quite soon, as she is just starting to crawl…

Both sprollies recommend Edgelarks CDs or concert tickets for the ultimate Christmas gift. Naturally - no-one questions the loyalty of a dog.

And all of a sudden it’s the last night of the @peterknightsgigspanner Big Band tour! We’re at the @the_springhavant but it’s as sold out as a very sold out thing. BUT we are getting together next May to do it all again, and we are playing in Chichester at the new Graylingwell Chapel Arts Centre! Tickets are already on sale too (and make great presents, nudge nudge, wink wink)…

Of course I couldn’t resist the wonderful @themargatebookshop

So I got myself Tour Treats.

I wrote a dissertation on Diane di Prima but have never seen any of her work in a UK bookshop. So was very excited to see this new publication and one thing led to another, before I knew it I’d decided I may as well try these other lovely looking things too…
