Notes

This little album started life as a live set for our Winter Warmer gig at the Georgian Theatre in Richmond, North Yorkshire, December 2011. We'd decided to re-arrange some of our songs for a more stripped down acoustic feel but, as usual, we all got a little over-excited and started gathering instruments to re-arrange the tracks. Soon we had amassed reed organs, out of tune hand bells, a shambolic brass section (us), pianos, guitars, ukuleles, whistles, double bass, drums and a violin. The gig was such a lovely night that we decided to record the tracks - adding a couple of new tunes to the best of the set.

The album was recorded live over 5 days in The Crypt, West Yorkshire. Three of the tracks were recorded as part of our Big Red Button night and the voices of those who came down for the evening can be heard on the title track Knotted Wood.
