It’s nearly Christmas! It’s also nearly time for us to start recording album number 3! We’re really excited to be working with James Youngjohns (Last Harbour, Anna Kashfi) at his new studio in Stockport.
Also, as good preparation for the recording, we’ll be playing at the Institute in Kelvedon, Essex tomorrow night. It’s sure to be a fantastic show with support from our friend, the incredibly talented Raevennan Husbandes.

We’re excited to be supporting Lau at the Deaf Institute in Manchester this Saturday night. It’ll be our third show with new violinist Beth Morgan-Williams. Unfortunately we can’t have our fantastic percussionist Tom play with us at this show, so it’ll be a stripped back acoustic trio, which should match Lau nicely. New album news coming soon!..

We’re still alive! News has been a while coming.. We’ve been nestled away in our Northern Quarter basement writing and arranging new songs these past few months. We’re pleased to say that we’ve finally reached a tipping point and all of a sudden we seem to have nearly 20 new songs and lots of other ideas for covers/trad songs and instrumental meanderings. More soon!

We’ve been doing a kind of ’12 days of Christmas’ / ’Advent songs’ type of thing over on our Facebook page. We’ve been posting a song/music video every day; some are new songs released this year, others are old songs we’ve recently discovered and some are songs we’ve known about for years but for whatever reason have gained significance for us this year.
Chosen by the band, we give you ‘Samson & Delilah’s Songs of the Year 2011’:
