Our guitarist Jules visited @ThorneRecords in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh the other day, and spied the Firrenes album 'Door Too Wide' in the "Under £15" vinyl section! At just £11.99 this might just be the ideal Christmas gift for the music lover in your life! 😀👍

For anyone who missed the recent Firrenes concert (or who wants to re-live it!), you can see and hear me singing and playing my recent song 'Black Cat / Flight Case' below. I hope you enjoy it!

🎸🐈‍⬛Live concert recording of the song 'Black Cat / Flight Case' from our recent @voodoorooms gig.

The song re-imagines the "Schrödinger's cat" thought experiment in a rock 'n' roll context.

Two great friends and collaborators of mine, @JohanneJeffers1 and @MissDabjen recorded a great interview together, about Fiona's work with The Firrenes (it rhymes with 'beans'!), the band I founded back in 2016. Well worth a listen...

[The Firrenes @TheFirrenes]

#MeetTheBand! First up is bass player and song writer, Walt Cumming. When he's not playing music, you're likely to find Walt on a golf course or enjoying his favourite Indian food. He also makes a pretty good #paella, if you're lucky enough to get invited round for dinner!
