UPDATED DECEMBER 7th 2011

ALBUM NEWS
The new album is taking shape nicely. We have set up a studio in Ron's attic and are getting some wicked results. For the first

 time we are all writing and contributing material, and the band's sound is taking us in some very interesting directions, bearing in mind this is the first time in 15 years we haven't had a fiddle in the band.

AGENT NEWS
After nearly two decades of trying to manage ourselves, we have finally admitted defeat and employed the services of an Agent, who will look after our bookings, answer the telephone, respond to emails and make sure the band members are all in the same room at the same time.

The man in question is the formidable Keith "Bomber" Harris, who has a wealth of experience in the industry, including organising Salisbury Folk Festival, and turning the Folk On The Water Festival at Saul from a small gathering of boaters into a major festival. Keith has been a friend and supporter of MOTL for many years. It was he who introduced Al to the Mary Stanford story, lending him the book that inspired the writing of the song. He also played the drums on the track Claudy Banks on the 1995 album The Portugese Handshake.

2012 NEWS
MOTL's diary for the rest of 2011 will be devoted to the writing and recording of the new album, but we are already putting things in place for 2012, at the end of which we will celebrate our 20th anniversary.

There are already a couple of exciting shows booked for the summer festival season, and we are currently planning a 20th anniversary concert which will hopefully rival our 10th anniversary gig at Birmingham Symphony Hall. Stay tuned for more news!
