Once again yours truthfully, The Mink, and Rustle gathered in the village hall today for music making, our attempts to depart this place strangely thwarted. Look out for a guest appearance from Ms Shelby Logan Warne, caretaker of the hall and headmistress of the village school. Watch the bees for signs. They buzz buzz buzz in perfect circles. They hum between your knees. But these are old superstitions, and we are modern people, are we not?!
Several old Pan Book of Horror paperbacks are cunningly placed in the room. Try to identify how many, and which numbers in the series they are. You’ll never do it! There’s a lot to remember in the song we’re going to play today, complicated with several instrument changes for me, but mistakes are all part of the magic.
The instruments are reassuringly untuned, so here we go! Hang on to your kite...

What an amazing hive of humming sounds drifting down the chapel slope. Trust these tunes drift into the Hall once again the week!
Wonderful. I loved the way it jumped seamlessly from an acoustic folk song into a metal riffing machine. I cannot wait to hear the album in its entirety. But first.... The Albert Hall on Thurs!
