Hello all,
A very Happy New Year to you! 2014 is now well underway but, before it gets even later, I just like to say thanks very much to you all for supporting my music throughout 2013. So many of you have helped promote the new album Light The Boats and written positive words, come to gigs, bought the music and generally made me feel it is all worthwhile; I really do appreciate it. I've also just heard that Light The Boats is on Folk Radio UK's Best Albums of 2013 list, so am pretty chuffed!
So, onto plans for the coming few months:
Upcoming Gigs
Several gigs have been booked for February and April, which it would be lovely to see your faces at:

Live EP
A number of you have been saying how much you enjoyed the gigs we played as a band last September and how it would be great to hear some live recordings of the quartet (Ted Barnes, Anna Jenkins, Jo Silverston and myself). So, next month we will be recording a few songs as a live set up, and hope to release an ep by the time we play the shows in April. I'll keep you informed!
Merchandise
I am now selling a limited number of mounted prints taken from the Light The Boats original artwork by Andrew Rayner. You can purchase them via my Website or Bandcamp page. :http://www.gillsandell.com/merch.html
That's about it. I hope to see you soon. And if you're interested in any of the other projects I'm currently involved with, please see some links below where you can find out more information. I think it's going to be a busy year!
Thanks and bye for now,
Gill x.
