The Green Man

So if you go to Sunday’s Homecoming Gig you’ll probably be awarded with a record for your efforts, we recorded it in London and if you’re lucky you’ll get a bit of London to go with it. Because Lucy and Thomas’ handwriting is so illegible we’ve provided this digital tracklist with a bit more information so you know absolutely everything, because we don’t like secrets. Also, a little under half the CDs will have ‘Cemetery’ spelt incorrectly, because Lucy never passed Year 3 spelling.
We may or may not ever give this record away again, so be there!

We met the Midnight Barbers at a gig, then we spent a couple of days jamming with them, we had a snowball fight and we drank at the local pub. It was silly, but Tasman is cruel with snowballs.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE MIDNIGHT BARBERS! THEY'RE THE BEST BAND (WE THINK) IN LONDON!

The Green Man: Pub in Chelmsford, Essex; Sunny in Philly; man who tells you when to walk across the road.
