Tour Dispatch: In Praise of Wanderlust

As tour continues, one rarely gets much time to look back at the adventures already passed. After our Newcastle show, Withered Hand Dan and I went to Beth Jeans Houghton’s flat and recorded this old Irish folk tune (taught to me by the amazing Ryan Doyle), all three of us in the bathtub. Here’s to natural reverb and ancient songs.
