Check out our new single - our take on the classic The King's Shilling. Our first recording since Rachel's heart surgery - she's doing OK, we think! #newmusic #ukfolkmusic #folk #folkmusic theoldcrowroad.hearnow.com/the-kings-sh...

After a lengthy break due to health issues, we are now back recording. Here's a short snippet of a work in progress. We hope to be performing live again in a few months. Watch this space. #folkmusic #folk #newmusic #waterboys

As you may know, we had to cancel our plans for spring/summer 2026 for health reasons. The good news is that Rachel had her heart operation last week and she is now focussing on recovery. We plan to be back in action as soon as we're all fit and well. We'll keep you posted!

Valid point. If you care about a singer and/or band, get their music from BandCamp - that way they get paid fairly for their work. And if you can’t do that then at least avoid Spotify - worst of the lot! #bandcamp #spotify
