The Noise of Waters is an old sea poem by James Joyce. We took inspiration from his words and crafted a new song using an old mandolin dusted off and re strung, guitar in open G and the odd bit of percussion. We hope we have done the poem justice.

We made a video to fundraise for Calais Action. This is a very simple fundraiser for an amazing grassroots cause. Calais Action does important work to support people in refugee camps in France, Greece and beyond. 

As well as working regularly alongside Lords in parliament, Calais Action are currently on the Greek island of Samos, working in a locked detention centre where refugees are currently being 'held' and doing what they can there in a dire situation.

Please watch our video - a cover of Sydney Carter's 'When I Needed a Neighbour' - and make a donation. All funds raised will go directly to Calais Action.
