CONTRADICSHUN (Official Video)

by

We are very pleased to present the Official Video for “CONTRADICSHUN” – the title track from our new album. Made by the wonderful REDWOOD music photography & filmed at our house with kind permission of Lola and the dogs!

The words to this song are written by 19th Century Geordie songster Joe Wilson. The title “CONTRADICSHUN” jumped out at us when we were browsing through his 1870 book “Tyneside Songs, Ballads & Drolleries” and it sparked the idea to make an album full of songs about contradictions and conversations.

You can order the album on our website and other stockists now, and we hit the road to promote the album very soon heading to;
