Yay!

We've got us a booking at the Bromsgrove Folk Festival 2018: http://www.bromsgrovefolkclub.co.uk/festival.html

Past summer didn't go as well though:

Due to a (as it turned out, too) late response on our application to a festival, preparations for our UK tour 2017 came falling apart. As a result, we were not able to secure sufficient other gigs anymore for to make ends meet.

However, it didn’t take too long getting over the disappointment, as we had a relatively busy winter/spring, taking up most of our attention. We played some really nice gigs, both as Heartstrings and as 0.4 part of Elly’s feminicana trio Babes In The Grass (with the two additional husbands on various instruments).

Being determined not having this happening again, we’d like to proceed putting the 2018 UK tour together now.

Getting the confirmation just the other day, it made us very happy with the spot on the 2018 Bromsgrove Folk Festival.

In order to make the tour balanced with our resources, we’d need some more places to play.

Depending on the majority of opportunities, we’d opt for a period of either two weeks before or after the festival (July 13,14 &15)

So… if you might know an evening for us to play at or having other suggestions, we’d love hearing from you (also even if you don’t ;-) )

Really hoping to see many of you, next summer!
