From 12 12 And Back – A Year Of Live Reflections

Thanks 2012 for making our yet unreleased new album come alive ‘live’!
The Lewisham Arthouse show captured the whole essence of the year! We have for that to thank Charles Hayward who’s been making brilliant forward thinking music for decades; Charles curated the whole event – it was a special night. Brian did the beautiful winterland decor making the Lewisham Arthouse into a magical environment and even fetched for us the paper moon lamp that we planned to rig up but never quite found the time to implement. We plunged into a long set and so did the fabulous Snorkel after us – a great energy was shared by everybody in the room. It was all captured in photos (to be found HERE) and live video footage, which will be made available very soon. A big thanks goes to Luigi Altilia for filming us in action.
And thank you if you’ve come to our shows, offered us shows, fed back on material, bought our music and/ or supported us in some way, please spread the word, it’s fundamental for independent music!!
Have a beautiful Xmas time.

October! We’ve very pleased to announce Raf and O are going to play live, as part of the Oxjam Festival run by Kaparte Promotions at Club Surya, Sat 27th October. A great roster of artists shall make for a special night for a noble cause. We are opening the event and will be playing at 7pm on the dot, so come EARLY!! For details see end of blog.
The gig at the Buffalo Bar in September (which saw us supporting the excellent Prescott) was very beautifully documented by the Chaos Engineers who took pictures of us in action – see below.
And in December, as the end of 2012 approaches…some more live excitement with a very special gig in a very special place – watch this space!
We’re finally putting the last touches on the artwork and one more piece is going to be especially recorded to be included in the album; this has now become an integral part of the live set. Working hard and will bring you some more news very soon. x

We’re in the mood for a blog! After a lengthy European Summer excursion showered by a natural hair drier of hot air and sun and near about 3000 road miles later!!…we’re now practicing towards our next gig – the news is: great night coming up this wednesday, Raf and O supporting Prescott ((Stump bassist Kev Hopper, Scritti Politti keyboardist Rhodri Marsden and Snorkel drummer Frank Byng) and Stars in Battledress (well known to fans of Cardiacs/Sea nymphs).

In fact, we’ve been meaning to blog since our last two gigs. Surrounded by the eccentricity of Servant Jazz Quarters, performing alongside the excellent Woven Entity (thanks to Lascelle for getting us down), we then made our way to the green valley of Wales, hosted by The Crooked House for the day. Slipping into a flowery dress (Raf) for the midnight performance at Sheep Festival, playing alongside the not so distant sounds of beats coming from the dance tent beside, added to the vibe up on the sultry stage of the Blackbird Lounge….

….driving back, confronted by a bank of Sheep (of course) taking their time clearing the road.
Looking for a long forgotten sun, Raf and O then headed south for the coast of France and the hills and valleys of Italy, sharing lots of conversation and wine with great people from past and present, present and future, in our hearts, many maps later, heading back via Switzerland, Austria, climbing the church tower and playing a fabulous church organ in Germany (thanks Katharina), the long straight motorways of Belgium, Calais to Dover, back on to left hand driving and to the south east of London, ready for playing……
Sheep Music Festival & Servant Jazz Quarters

Hi everyone, we’re In July but nobody would know!! Though a while back now, it was a pleasure sharing the stage with Gertrude and She Makes War – and money was raised all for a good cause (more photos added on FB)
Two more live events coming up this month – we’re looking forward to play JITTFITP and sharing the stage with the excellent Woven Entity (Patrick Dawes, Lascelle Lascelles, Paul May, Ben Cowen from Snorkel) on the 19th at Servant Jazz Quarters.
Raf and O have also been invited at this year’s Sheep Music Festival in Wales, yes, running 20th to 22nd July. We’re playing the Blackbird Lounge, the ‘sweet and sultry’ stage just as Saturday fades into the night of Sunday Morning.
For more info (updated over the week-end) and tickets go to
Sheep Music’s website.
If you’re in wet and rainy London or wet and rainy (hope not) Wales and fancy some live music and vibes, you know what to do!
Love
from Raf and O x
