My pals from NI are coming your way. Here’s their blurb:
Wookalily are coming all the way across the Irish Sea to embark on their first UK tour of England and Wales. Five women, ten instruments, Wookalily display a spectacle of musical instrument gymnastics with an eclectic style that’s sure to prick the ears of music lovers everywhere. After appearing on BBC4’s UK’s Best Part-Time Band Documentary presented by Rhod Gilbert this is what Midge Ure had to say about the band…
“The all female band, four Irish and one Welsh, make a glorious noise guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a skip in your step”
From York to London and Cardiff in between, Wookalily will be playing some of their much loved classics from their folk/bluegrass inspired debut album, All the Waiting While and also promoting their soon to be released somewhat darker second album Everything is Normal…Except the Little Things Inside My Head.
Wookalily create a cinematic soundtrack that’s otherworldly and will keep you awed and bemused with their folk-noir troubadour tales. Will you join them in making musical mayhem?

I remember them on the telly thing. Really good. Nowhere near me either unfortunately.
Is that you in the skirt, Colin?
No, I’m the one with the beard.
Here’s WookaLyndsay and WookaLou (AKA Cardiff Lou) on a Cardiff TV station – playing Cardiff that night. There’s a terrific joke at the end…
They’re at the Spice of Life, Cambridge Circus, London tonight.
