🎻 Radio 4 tonight! 7:15pm 🎻

Delighted to be appearing on Add To Playlist. Great fun to nerd out about music with @Jeffreykboakye @cerysmatthews and @wisemandebbie - featuring one of my all time favourite pieces of music 🥰

[Chris Sweeney @CJM54]

@pickeletto Well done you and huge congratulations

[Sam Sweeney 🎻 @sweeneyfiddle]

Delighted. Not bad for an album that only came out in the last week of October… Thanks for buying Escape That folks - we have very nearly sold out of CDs and LPs… fewer than one box left of each. Do order it soon if you haven’t already! https://t.co/K13VrlJSO2

No. 10 in the Official Folk Album Chart this month, and that doesn’t count the 2000+ copies sold on the Bellowhead tour and through Hudson Records… it’s mad how many copies Escape That is selling… thank you all so much 🥰 Would probably be at number 9 if those counted…

The absolutely amazing @sweeneyfiddle Band @bennicholls10 @JackRutterer @louisbcampbell Escape That....get your album... supporting @bellowheaduk tour

It’s getting messages and fan reviews like this that really gets me 🥲 when you put two years of everything you’ve got (in every sense!) into making something for people to love, and they GET it, it’s the best feeling. 🥰 feeling humbled and lovely x

Apparently they’ve just re-shown the WW1 special of Antiques Roadshow that I was on… what an amazing experience that was 🙂 #antiquesroadshow @BBC_ARoadshow still humbled by that fiddle coming into my life
