What's all this about then? Our new album Every Valley was recorded in the Ebbw Vale Institute in their former lecture hall, which is now used as a live venue and community space. Seeing as the album was created in that very room and its subject matter is so pertinent to the area, we thought it'd be a good idea to come back to do a couple of live shows as part of the album launch. We'll be previewing some songs from the new album as well as a selection of songs from our previous releases.
