send this email out and I thought I would re-post it for info:

Who you gonna call?
In autumn 2012 we were lucky enough to be invited by our good friends Hope & Social to collaborate on their exciting Crypt Covers project - arranging, recording and filming a cover version, chosen by you - all within 24 hours.  As it was Halloween, the wheel of destiny spat out the Ghostbusters theme tune, and it turned out to be quite an adventure.  Hope & Social have now done 10 of these Crypt Covers and have released them all as a digital album.  We’re in very good company on this album, with other collaborators including the much loved Duke Special, Ellen and the Escapades and Sam Airey.  If you haven't seen the video of our Ghostbusters cover, it is worth a watch.

Our next album
In other news, work continues apace to arrange a body of new songs for our next album. We’ve demoed a number of them already and will be starting recording proper very soon. We’re delighted with the new material and will be road testing them at gigs in the coming months. Listen out….

Spring and summer gigs
We are stupidly excited to be playing our first international gig this summer (assuming you don’t count Lancashire). We're heading to Belgium in the first weekend of August to play at the Dranouter Festival.  We yet again find ourselves in excellent company, sharing the bill with Billy Bragg and Richard Thompson.  We’re exploring the possibility of playing somewhere else en route so we can officially call it a European Tour - even if we just busk at Calais, that counts, doesn't it?

Before that, we're heading back to the Lake District to play in Ireby on 26th April after our very enjoyable performances at the festival there last summer.  The following week we're heading to the seaside to play at the Whitby Spring Session.  We'll be keeping it local on Friday 13th June when we appear at Bradford Festival. We’ll get no Saturday lie-in though, as we're then off back to the Dales to play at the incredible Hardraw Folk Gathering for the second year running on 14th June.  We hope you can join us somewhere along the way.  We haven't yet decided whether our new, young band member is ready to play live.
