Shetland to Glastonbury

I’ve just spent a lovely weekend in the Shetland Isles doing a Radio 4 programme with Marc Riley and Guy Garvey. It’s entitled In Search of the Holy Quail, based around 3 music types going bird watching. I don’t want to spoil the story, but it should have been called Last of the Summer Winos. The show will be aired around November time.
We’ve got another week recording demos now before we travel to Glastonbury.
I’m not sure we’ll play any new songs at Glastonbury, but it will be a full Rock performance, rather than Man of Aran.
It’s quite likely there will be new songs aired at the Colchester, Morcambe, and High Rocks shows.
I went to see Jarvis Cocker last night too, and he was on fire.
He came on with a walking stick, only to dance like a cross between Beyoncé and Bill & Ben the Flower Pot Men, all night long. Rock on Jarvis!
Yours,
Noble
