Their acclaimed live shows as a duo have taken them across the UK, including the Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk festivals and also into Spain and Portugal, and feature rambling anecdotes from Mark’s mystifyingly long career, along with some thought-provoking, borderline depressing original songs and the odd carefully selected cover.
Their debut album ‘First Light’ was followed by their sophomore offering ‘Hearsay and Heresy’ in 2025 on Talking Elephant records which attracted extensive national and local radio airplay. Their new LP ‘Days of Rhyme and Reason’ will be released in the spring of 2027.
