I’m lucky to come from a town that has lots of songs. I learnt this one when I was very small, from my great friend (and great singer) Maggie Duffy…

This little town of Brixham it’s all ups and downs
There’s Higher Street and Fore Street in this little town
We all wait for the trawlers when they come home from sea
For there’s nothing like a trawler and a trawlerman for me!

Wonderful dusk to dark kayak last night. The salmon were jumping out of the water around us, and we were followed by a seal who looked like a mermaid.

GARDEN GIGS! who wants one?
We have some time at the end of August and into September. We’re fully self sufficient, will turn up with PA and play, and we can all pretend we’re at a festival. Email our agents on amanda@firebrandmusic.co.uk if you’d like more info 🌞☺️🎶

On a side note, here’s our pear tree. It’s really going for it this year, but how will we know when they’re ready? They’re already v big but it’s too early, and they’re v high up so we can’t just give them a squeeze!

Well, the rain got us to rediscover both our love of chess, and our dad’s amazing chess set (from when he lived in Hong Kong in the 70s). Hope you’ve all had a great weekend ☺️

Several of you have mentioned that you missed last Friday’s gig, and have asked when we’ll be doing another. Well, we’ve been asked to do a special show for the legendary Nettlebed Folk Club, and we’re delighted to tell you that it will take place next Monday 13th July from 8pm BST. As with last week’s show, there will be a cut off for ticket buying, to allow time to send you all the secret access links. Tickets are available now from: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/firebrand-music/t-yvolrm

“See” you there! x

FAQs:

Performance starts at 8pm with a 45 minute set from Edgelarks, followed by a 10 minute interval, then the gig starts again at 8.55pm.

We will be available for a “chat in the bar” after the gig via Zoom, if you fancy joining us. It makes it feel more like a “real” gig!

Ticket price is per household, allowing any number of people in your residence to watch. Ticket sales will close at midday on Monday 13 July 2020.

Full details of how to access the gig, together with the links will be emailed to you the afternoon of the gig. Please note that you will not need to download any software to view the show.
