It’s a double A side with their cover of ‘Scarborough Fair’ and is, by a country mile, the best cover version of a Kenyan Wedding song you will ever hear…..

Check out Fantastic post Grain projects Gyratory System (whose ‘Yowza Yowza Yowza’ will find it’s way into the world via Hansard Records in the new year) and Daniel Patrick Quinn (who is currently working on his new solo album ‘Acting The Rubber Pig’)…
