'Memoirs From The Crooked Road' by carbonhobo is a new project from our fiddle player Neil McCartney and features contributions by friends from both Merry Hell and The Big Geraniums as well as his son Ben. Hoping you like it!

WHEN WE MEET AGAIN
NEW SINGLE

When We Meet Again is a song of hope for 2021 and beyond. Written by John and Bob during the second lockdown period of 2020, it is born of our strange and difficult times but looks forward to the pleasures of being with the people whose company we enjoy, whether it be spending time with friends and family, or simply getting back to gigs and festivals and sharing our music and joy with audiences.

In addition to the band, the song reflects its theme of togetherness by featuring the combined voices of our 300 strong Social Isolation Choir. All the members recorded their parts individually and submitted them remotely to the band. Our production maestro John Kettle, assembled everyone into a harmonious whole. The single also includes two tracks from our album Emergency Lullabies – both also featuring the choir.

LOST SONGS
A VERY LIMITED EDITION CD

In the strange days of 2020 and when circumstances allowed, the four Kettle family members of Merry Hell, Andrew, Bob, John and Virginia, managed to assemble for an evening of songs and stories. Talk turned to times past, reflecting on their history as both The Tansads and Merry Hell, as well as songs they have loved but rarely have the opportunity to sing. This disc is a record of those songs, recorded exactly as they were performed that night - with honesty in the music and truth in the words. We hope that you enjoy it.
