If only! :-)
It's #BandcampFriday ! To celebrate, I've popped a limited edition clear vinyl repress of The Pendulum Swing on there PLUS you can now pre-order my new album via Bandcamp. Sure, your wrapped stats are wonderful, but today's a chance to support those artists in real time. katherinepriddy.bandcamp.com
Hello! A slightly late reminder that it's Bandcamp Friday.
If you were thinking about getting a copy of our cover of @waterboysmusic.bsky.social 's classic Fisherman's Blues, then there's never been a better time!

The band stand on a sea wall with a stormy seascape behind them. The singer reaches upwards towards a logo saying "Fishermans Blues"
It's finally out! Check out our cover of @waterboysmusic.bsky.social classic Fisherman's Blues!

The words “Fisherman’s Blues” hang in a stormy sky above the band. Rachel, the singer, holds her hands aloft.
Our version of The Waterboys’ classic will be available on streaming services from
Friday this week. Hope you like it!

Glad you like it, and thanks
for sharing! :-)
A hurtling, fevered train crashing headlong into the heartland, like a cannon in the rain.
Another clue…
A fishing boat in heavy seas
New single out later this month… but what could it be? For a change, it’s not a traditional tune although it’s certainly has a folky feel.

The saying goes, "A dog is for life, not just for Xmas". In the same way, our spooky song "O Death" is not just for Halloween. If you've not heard it yet, check it out here!

Thanks for sharing! Our favourite is the Ghost Chicken of Langtoft. :-)
Happy Halloween! If you fancy a spooky tune to go with it, check out our version of the traditional tune O Death. Recorded in one dark evening in the Wold Newton Triangle (look it up!).
We hope you like it! theoldcrowroad.bandcamp.com/music

The band members are standing on Whitby harbour wall with a big storm brewing out to sea. Rachel is in the middle and has her hands in the air as if welcoming the storm.
Hello! Today is Bandcamp Friday, when the artist gets 100% of any purchase on Bandcamp.
So, if you were toying with buying one or more of our lovely songs (or anyone else's), then today would be a great time!

It's a chance to have your say. Fatea's mantra is giving artists a voice, well here's a chance for you to use your voice in support of the music we love.
Guitarist sat on steps, fingerpicking an acoustic guitar.
View from behind the stage showing the band looking out towards the audience. The beautiful stained glass window and architecture of St Mary's church can be seen in the background.
View from the side of the stage of the band in full flight.
View from behind the stage of Rachel of The Old Crow Road. Rob can be seen playing guitar behind her (from this angle) and tapestries can be seen further back still, hanging from the church wall.
Some great photos taken at our recent concert at St Mary's Church in South Dalton during a fairly dramatic storm. Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to come and listen!

The interior of St Mary’s church showing a high vaulted ceiling, pews and an intricately tiled floor. Tracey, the violinist with The Old Crow Toad can be seen walking down the aisle to where a PA system is being set up.
An amazing venue for last nights gig - although incredibly cold, with a storm raging outside.
St Mary’s Church, South Dalton, East Riding of Yorkshire
