Let's do this. Looking for some far out versions, so if you or any of your friends that are in prog math-punk, acid skiffle or transglobal space-funk bands, we need to hear their takes on this!

[Sing Yonder @SingYonderFolk]

We go again. Once again the stars fell into alignment and there's a mind-blowingly great line-up for Sing Yonder 2: the Album. Some of my absolutely favourite musicians, and humans, are on board. Join us!

[Sing Yonder @SingYonderFolk]

Exciting announcement coming very soon to paid Substack subscribers! Be the first to see the track listing for the new album, to be released in April!

The latest song is Waly Waly, a welcome break from all the Border reiver shenanigans that have been the prevailing theme for the last 10-ish Roud index entries.

[Karl Sinfield @SinfieldDesign]

Spoiler: it was Steve Roud, in the library, with a mislabelled index card.

New kids range of merch now available. Because every child wants to be seen wearing something that wasn't even fashionable 200 years ago. Garments also available for adults who are still deciding what they want to be when they grow up. https://t.co/1a7fBM0OyA

So, from time to time, lovely people have asked for Sing Yonder tshirts. As anyone in the music game knows, it's a big initial outlay to get all the sizes in quantities that make it economically viable, and because I don't "tour" in the traditional way, ....>

Latest entry, in which I muse on the Magical Soporific Harp trope, discover a Russian Irish folk band, and needlessly amuse myself by coining the neologism "klepto-ballad".

[Karl Sinfield @SinfieldDesign]

@LisaKnappMusic Yeah same. ❤️

[Sing Yonder @SingYonderFolk]

Compilation update - everyone is very busy at the moment, including me, so I'm extending the deadline for the entries. Got a couple of crackers so far though, and the other nine recordings are sounding *amazing* - so get on board. Can't wait to hear what you come up with.

@elizacarthy @wenshalftime @AlanBearmanMus @daviddelarre @UrbanFarmHand Brilliant stuff, hope you bring lots of new fans over to the dark side. 🖤

[Karl Sinfield @SinfieldDesign]

@Harpandamonkey @SingYonderFolk Thanks for this lovely bit of WIP, Martin. Getting more excited by the day!👍

[Karl Sinfield @SinfieldDesign]

@TreeHouseBkshop Used to be obsessed with that film. He has a line where he says "Not yet" but he pronounces it "Nurt yit"; it always cracks me up for some reason. 🤣

[Karl Sinfield @SinfieldDesign]

Free food! Free music! Free laughs! Come! (If you're free.)

[The Gally Canters @gallycanters]

We're back at the lovely Strines Nightingale on Thursday, and this time there's even more reason to come: free veggie scran! Should be a fun night. Be great to see you there.

[Karl Sinfield @SinfieldDesign]

Tonight!

[The Gally Canters @gallycanters]

We are having a tune and a song at the lovely Oddfellows pub in Mellor, near Marple, on Thursday night. The food is absolutely banging, so why not have some dinner then stay for the free live music? 🍔🎶🕺

[Karl Sinfield @SinfieldDesign]

Lovely country pub, let's gooooo. 👍

I'm doing my best impression of a potted plant. 👍

[Ｌｕｎａｔｒａｋｔｏｒｓ @lunatraktors]

Gorgeous night at the small but perfectly formed @cafehash9. A full house of warm, passionate listeners (incl. @SingYonderFolk 😘). Shows like this make us fall in love with performing all over again.

Fancy seeing us live? We're on tour!
