September 2012 It's been a great month so far with highlights being us hitting over 100% on our Pledge Project for the new album "All The Good Friends". We now have a projected release date in November and Pledges are still being accepted.
Also playing a great gig at Moseley Folk Festival see review clip below: Up at the Boho tent Red Shoes played a beautiful set of original tunes including one specially written for the great Dave Swarbrick called "Sunday Afternoon". It turns out they’re going to record it with him soon on their new album. A poignant musing on the fragility of life and the yearning for just one more Sunday afternoon as we near the end, it’s right up there with Roy Harper’s "When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease" - Daron Billings, Gig Junkies
