Well it’s been and gone for another year. Out of the Trees VII was a beautiful event. There’ll be photos and videos and links to come, but for now it’s probably best just to thank those who played, those who came, and those who made it all happen. You are fantastic people, every one of you.

Well it’s now less than 24 hours til Out of the Trees VII. The bands and performers have all been practising hard. The lights, decorations and equipment are all loaded and waiting to be put up. The venues are all ready, now all we need is the people… See you tomorrow. Baskin’s Wish - The Amazing Sessions: Unplugged #1
Well I’ve just finished doing a little studio interview for Lionheart Radio. I may have rambled a bit, but on the whole I think I managed to get the right information across. Many thanks to Richard and Daniel for having me in. I did however describe Baskin’s Wish as ‘surf pop’ which is perhaps not quite right. So here’s a video to correct my poor attempts at music categorisation (it’s never been a strong point of mine). Recorded for Amazing Radio. Out of the Trees is tomorrow! Deerhart - Corrina’s Nylon Strings
No more videos about snow! I’m on the train North and seeing more and more of it lying on the ground. It is beautiful but any more and we could run into problems… but the weather forecast for Sunday is bright sunshine so I’ve got my fingers firmly crossed for a still winter’s day, the kind that Northumberland does best. Anyway here’s a wee video from our headliners Deerhart, with no mention of snow, but still rather lovely. In other news you can catch me rambling on about Out of the Trees tomorrow on Lionheart Radio at about 10am, so listen in, if the fancy takes you. Out of the Trees is in 2 days… The Cornshed Sisters - Wind and Rain
Considering the inclement weather that’s been pummelling these isles in the last few days, this song by our afternoon headliners The Cornshed Sisters seemed quite fitting, and quite beautiful too. Out of the Trees VII is in 5 days… Wreaths - O! Like Falling Snow
A beautiful little video from afternoon session artist Wreaths. Quiet and reflective, we’re hoping for cold and peaceful winter weather like this on the day, not the bawbag hurricane currently heading for Northumberland… We got a lovely mention from Drowned in Sound here: http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4144157-drowned-in-newcastle-9 In even more exciting news I will be rambling incoherently on Saturday the 17th of December to Lionheart Radio, I think at about 10am. Never heard of Lionheart Radio? You’ve clearly never spent much time in and around the area of Alnwick then! It’s a lovely little local radio station that dedicates a lot of time and energy to all things North Northumbrian, and they’ve offered me the chance to actually sit in a studio and talk to them about this festival - I’m wondering if they actually know what they’re letting themselves in for…

Yes, we’ve done the timings, so you can schedule your day - including the all important question ‘at what time should I sit down for a lovely pub meal in The Hermitage?’ (Rabbit pie! Rabbit pie! Rabbit pie! Actually I’ve never had the rabbit pie but I’ve been told it’s very good… and they do veggie food too, without even much of a grimace) Enough of my irrelevance. Beneath you will find the listings. If you are an organised type (the kind I yearn to be, but will always ultimately fail) you can print this out and bring it with you on the day. If you’re more like me (and perhaps spend your days organising other people on a grand scale and are therefore categorically incapable of leaving the house with both your purse AND your keys) then there will also be handouts with timings available on the day.

Two illustrious gentlemen seem to think our festival is of note. Charmed! We can’t wait to see their jovial faces, and well-turned smoking pipes, on the day… http://www.theambler.co.uk/2011/11/30/whither-and-why/ Jolly good! Baskin’s Wish have now been added to this year’s line-up.
Low-fi in all the right ways we’re pleased as punch they’ll be adding some indie loveliness to our festival. Less than 2 weeks to go as of NOW… |
