Well hey guys!
It sure has been quiet on this here blog since we saw you last, eh? You might have noticed a couple changes on the website - thank you for paying attention, dear reader - and there’s plenty more of those to come! Anyway, there’s lots to fill y’all in on, so we’ll just get to it…
WE GOT MARRIED!
YEAH!
We tied the knot on 20th October there, and it was simultaneously the most fun and most exhausting day of our young lives. We now recommend serious post-wedding rest to any of our friends, family or clients who’re getting hitched! So yes, that took up much of our time and energy during the second half of 2018. We still played a fair few ceilidhs during autumn and Hogmanay (that’s Scots for New Year), and Christmas is always a busy time for churchgoing musicians - Grace played at least 6 carol services in December, with Al joining her for 4 of them!
Naturally, our decision after all that craic was to take it easy for a wee while. HAH, no - we went to Skye for a week and planned our next exciting adventure…
WE’RE MAKING AN EP!
YYYYEAAAAHHH!!
Technically, we’re already halfway through making the EP, because things started snowballing a whole lot sooner than we expected - so if you don’t follow us on social media, you’ll have possibly missed this news. It took 10 days of studio time, with some wonderful pals and colleagues pitching in from across the country. All five tracks are recorded, mixed and mastered. An amazing illustrator friend of ours is currently drafting out some album artwork for us, whilst we get our heads around everything else, including launching a Crowdfunder!
Watch this space, and follow @twofarflung on social platforms for MUCH ongoing info about the EPic (sorry) process of making our first record!
And just to keep you interested, because the above is clearly not exciting enough in this age of Instagram stories, swiping and millennial attention spans…
WE WILL BE TOURING THE EP AROUND THE UK!
YYYYYEEEEEAAAA- you get the idea.
Speak soon y’all!
Love,
A&G xxx
