We’ve put together a fun photo video of the band’s trip to Easdale Island & Achmore last year which fits in with the lyrics of this classic String Driven Thing track.

Would you like to be travelling on a sailing ship at sea,
Out on the waves as they move beneath your feet,
Feeling the wind as it quivers in the sheets,
It’s easy to be free

PLACE TO LIE
(Chris Adams/
Backshop Music)

Well I gotta find me a place to lie
Yeah I gotta find me a place to lie
Some little churchyard, shady and green,

The band had a ball in Bavaria in May. They played gigs at Cafe Konrad in Vilsbiburg and the Salzstadel, Landshut, airing songs from the new album and some classics from the past. The crowds loved the sound and the band has been invited back for a longer tour. Thanks again to promoter John Flanagan and to everyone who made us feel so welcome. In the meantime, we thought you might like a taste of the band’s weekend in “another country”.
