The Bird and the Word will be released on Monday 9 July. Order before then from the shop for the reduced price of £6 (usually £8). Amelia’s Magazine has the first review.

Robin has lots of gigs coming up: Ashton Court in Bristol on Saturday 14 July, and then London (Friday 10 August), Oxford (Tuesday 14 August) and Bristol (Saturday 18 August). See the live page for details.

Finally, the album launch, which has been delayed by Robin’s Gravenhurst commitments (Glastonbury last month and Paris with Animal Collective this month) will be at the Folk House in Bristol on Friday 7 September.
