"'The Fire Turns To Embers' is a life ebbing away, a fitting farewell note to Carswell's passing."
Kicking off next month.
"Andy felt music very deeply, and his understated approach to life found its way into his playing."

A show you won't get to see very often
It’s hard not to love a band that provokes thought and challenges musical perceptions – even while doing the dishes – in such an undemanding yet pleasurable manner.
They’ve never sounded like they’re not enjoying each other’s company and musical tangents, even if discussing Welsh nationalism (Aberystwyth) or simply jigging in a Muckheap.
