Greenbelt!
Greenbelt Festival - we love you.
What a joy to bring our music home to Canopy Stage, where we have such a warm welcome from the brilliant team. Everyone sitting out in the sunshine after days of rain listening so attentively was a moment of the year for us.
​
Total respect to Andrew and team for organising, writing and putting on the big Sunday morning communion. Being asked to be the musicians was a slightly daunting thought at first, but we took on the challenge and really what a privilege to be part of such a moving mass service of communion with live video link up to Bethlehem.
​
And meeting so many friendly and enthusiastic Siskin supporters! We can't believe the reception and what the music means to you. We'll make you some more!

We're looking forward to planning more gigs in the future. If you're interested in helping host us, do get in touch. All of these gigs were hosting by friendly churches and we helped out with publicity and ticket selling and got to play in some wonderful venues.

Album news
These past months have been a rich creative time together - we've been in Durisdeer recording studio capturing songs, enhancing arrangements and working with Steve Butler to produce a record we are incredibly proud of.
This week we've been intently listening to tiny details as the album finished the mixing and mastering processes. We can't wait to share it with you all. The next few months will be spent getting the CD ready for production with photos, design and lots of behind the scenes admin.
In the meantime we will be building up to the release by putting out a few singles, so keep your eyes peeled and help us spread the word.
Live gigs
We hope you will join us for one (or more) of our summer gigs. The album will be launched at the Edinburgh Fringe event, so book your tickets now and bring some chums to help us celebrate. Playing Greenbelt is a bit of a dream - if you're planning to be there do look us up on the Orchard stage.
