This week we’ve have Ando back in the music shed doing his thing with samples, keys and shaker. #mpc #akai #mpk #korg #shaker #acousticmusic #ambient #folktronica #homestudio
Name change does not compute apparently. Playing today at Unfest - 1pm The Forum Garden #summitofthebiglow #soundsanctuary
This weekend Toby will be playing his first shows out as ‘Summit of the Big Low’ a name that nods back to early Sound Sanctuary days for what to expect both lyrically and sonically.
Nick Mulvey sing along at #EartH in Hackney last night. Great gig and venue #unconditional #nickmulvey
#nowplaying #currentlylisteningto @nickmulvey Wake Up Now. Real grower and it’s properly got me these last couple of days. Top album!
#throwbackthursday to earlier in the year when Dominic Keshavarz was laying down some sweet slide geetar
So it looks as though we’ll be playing our first live show in almost 2 years this time next week. Andy and I have a little duo set prepped for #folkinginthestrawberries at Stonepitts Farm next Thursday 12th July 7pm. Come along!

‘Recline and engage’. A lot has changed in the last 20 years as to how one goes about making music. Mixed reviews as to whether it’s a good thing or a bad. But you just gotta keep getting it done. #New #music #making continues...

Modern day dictaphoning now with added vision. An essential part of the songwriting process. I remember when I used to use an 8 track #newmusic
Another new piece of vinyl from the past. This time 'The Hip' first brought back from Canada in my formative music years, pretty much unheard of in the UK.

Last night we had a band practice where all 4 members of 'The Glorious Amber Life' (the precursor to Sound Sanctuary) were in attendance. It was the first time in 16 years since the four of us had been in a room playing music together and it’s all in prep for a special one-off show we will be playing on Sat 23rd July (save the date) to mark the launch of a new Sound Sanctuary EP. Please stick it in your diaries, spread the word and we’ll be in touch shortly with more details...
I'm very sorry to say I've just been informed that our gig next Saturday 12th March at Perfecto Wine Bar in Sevenoaks with The Ackerley's has been CANCELLED! Apparently it is under new management and they have cancelled all upcoming events at the venue.
We're really disappointed and apologise to anyone who had made plans to come along. We'll let you know as soon as we have anything else booked up in the area.
Not long now till we play Perfetto in Sevenoaks on Saturday 12th March with the fantastic The Ackerleys. Get it in your diarys people.
Thanks everyone who made it out yesterday to catch our set in Tunbridge Wells. Sorry we didn't all get a chance to chat to everyone who came out specially to see us, but it was very much appreciated I assure you. Next show is Saturday 12th March at Perfetto Wine Bar in Sevenoaks. We'll be playing a nice long set and have got The Ackerleys supporting us so it should be a top night. Stick it in them diarys!
Who's up for this - Sound Sanctuary + The Ackerleys on the same bill in Sevenoaks on a Saturday night in March!
Sorry folks, there was a bit of a mixup with the date of our Grey Lady gig in a couple of weeks. It is now Wednesday 27th Jan and NOT Thursday 28th as was originally posted. Apologies if that messes up any plans already made.
A few photos courtesy of Zoe Uffindell from the tail end of last year when we last played The Grey Lady.
Check out a review of Kodak Sun from Fresh On The Net who picked it as one of this weeks Fresh Faves. Cheers guys. Also there's a sneaky little SoundCloud embed of the track on the page to take a proper listen if you didn't catch last weeks BBC Introducing In Kent show. Comments and likes appreciated, let us know what you think!
Check it out, our first airplay of Kodak Sun on BBC Introducing in Kent closing the show too :) If you get a minute and want to hear more in future weeks, get in touch with the show on their Facebook page (via the Introducing link above) and let them know... over and out!

Lots of recording done this week now the garden studio is fully up and running #crackingon #humblerebeginnings
Fantastic photos from Livestock Festival we played a few weeks back.
Thanks to Michael Houghton Photography for this snap from Local and Live music festival a couple of weeks back.
Good meeting today dreaming up new design and multimedia ideas around the next batch of tunes. The visual and conceptual part of a new release is always a forgotten gem in this music lark.
Oh no, looks like we might be man down for tonight's gig at Proud Camden. Time to rework that set again.
HUGE respect and MASSIVE thanks to Paul Dunton and his Local and Live team for a quite outstanding festival... again!
Just enjoyed playing a very intimate set at No. 9 Smokehouse to close the festival. This time with Andy and giving some of the new tunes an airing. Thanks all who were there listening. Here's to #LnL16
Anyone in T Wells not musiced out yet by Local and Live Andy and I will be playing a set tonight 9pm at No. 9 Smokehouse (used to be Thorins) as part of the fringe festival. It's a great lineup so come down early http://www.localandlive.org/festival/2015-monday/#event-4

This Saturday at 5pm we'll be headlining the Ollie Nicholls acoustic stage in Calverley Park in Tunbridge Wells for Local & Live - Plus Mr. Dave will be making a special guest appearance for this set, turning back the clock and allowing us to play some rare older tracks from the back catalogue. We'll also be playing on the bank holiday Monday at 9pm at No. 9 Smokehouse as part of the fringe festival.
Please help crowdfund this years Local and Live music festival by preordering the official CD featuring over 70 tracks across 4 discs from all this years festival artists. We will be headlining the acoustic stage in Calverley Park on Saturday 29th and have a brand new track featured on the CD.

Rifleman gig tonight, who's coming down? Let's just call it the Unfest fringe fringe
A little taster for this Saturdays gig at the Sevenoaks Rifleman in the form of the latest 'retro' track uploaded to YouTube. We have a solo set from Rocinia on the night too so it's going to be a gooden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMKtjd-Fdhs&index=6&list=PL9yZpmERwKz6u7...
We're not big fans of light when we practice, preferring the romantic lone candle vibe
Got a little gig at the Rifleman in Sevenoaks coming up on Sat 23rd May.
Another track added to YouTube this morning. This time the short and sweet Why? from the Contact mini-album. http://youtu.be/h4ouAYRGhrQ?list=PL9yZpmERwKz6u7SOot4f_J57IfJjiXoqC
Looking forward to hopefully checking out The Zed Music Cafe tonight for Adam Wedd show with support from IsseyCee amongst others.
Tonight my fine fellows 8.20pm The Grey Lady Acoustic Lounge, Tunbridge Wells - lots of fingerpicking, some gentle strumming, a sample or two, bit of shaker, plenty of harmonies and general banter tomfoolery shall commence. Oh, and a peoples choice cover we've only played once before :) That's right people… we're keeping it FRESH!
Been recording and eating sandwiches with this busy man today between tours #newmusic #sandwiches
A huge thanks to everyone who came out to watch last nights set at The Rifleman and special thanks to Joe Ackerley for a great support set. Till next time.
We are attempting something progressive for us. Live steam of tonight's gig at The Rifleman. This may or may not work but worth a go - first up the fantastic Joe Ackerley: go to http://ustream.tv/channel/friendly-tribe-live-music
Music and beers - practicing for tomorrow evenings Rifleman set.
Ice cream anyone? This the track (Tu De Che) that got placed on a couple of TV ads in Eastern Europe a few years back for a well known ice cream brand. If featured some pretty cool food landscapes and could be found on YouTube once upon a time, but just had a search and couldn't find it anywhere. Anyway enjoy your Friday and please share if you like the track.

So the Local & Live Tunbridge Wells music festival has finally rolled round again, back with vengeance and everything kicks off big style today! If you fancy a few new Sound Sanctuary songs over the weekend I'll be playing a solo set at Sankeys on Sunday 5.30pm as part of the fringe. Hope to catch you there or in the crowd at any number of other gigs over the weekend. Long live L&L!!!
We use all the the mod kit in the Sound Sanctuary studio, including telecaster counterweight. Perfect for droopy microphone stands!
