Recently we put Mark and David (and Arlo!) from the band into a studio to talk about their writing partnership and the creative process behind the songs from ‘Gaslight Roses’. To see all of the interviews go to our YouTube channel.
Festival Fever
We’re delighted to announce our first gigs of 2020 at two of our favourite UK festivals, Acoustic Festival Of Britain in Uttoxeter on Friday May 29th and Middlewich FAB festival in Cheshire on Sunday 21st June. Middlewich FAB will be extra special as it is celebrating its 30th anniversary! Ticket details are on our home page.
The Magnificent Seven!
We’d like to take this opportunity here at Fine Lines HQ to welcome new full time members Chris Lee (pedal steel) and Jim Broughton (bass) to the Fine Lines family. Chris added his wonderful musicianship to ‘Gaslight Roses’ bringing a lovely country flavour to songs such as ‘Sunday Morning, Coming Down’ and ‘Buy the World a Drink’ while Jim has, for the last 2 years, acted as the band’s de facto sound man. We’re delighted to have them on board full time and looking forward to the future as a seven piece!
Life Begins at 40!
2019 has been an incredible journey for our dear friend and bandmate Mark Radcliffe, who, after recovering from cancer earlier in the year, has now been honoured by the BBC for 40 years service to broadcasting! And what an incredible career it’s been! He was presented with his surprise award at the BBC Folk Awards in Manchester this month by folk legend and gentleman Ralph McTell. Congratulations Mark and here’s to many more!
London Can You Wait?
We’re delighted to announce our debut show in the capital on 17th November at The Slaughtered Lamb! We can’t wait to play this fantastic venue and hope to see a few of you there. Tickets can be purchased here.
