NEW ALBUM + END OF TOUR

Performing outside Kitty O Hanlons 2025 for St Patricks Day!

Greetings, Buskers!

The great defrosting is underway. The sun is out, and the beer gardens are filling up – long may the jet stream stay blocked!We thought we’d take a moment to give a big thank you to everyone who has come out to enjoy one of our shows over the past few weeks, bought some merch, or even just interacted with a post on social media – it’s all greatly appreciated, and you’re all ace.

The 10-Year Tour has been a great success so far, and we’ve had a nostalgic time revisiting old stomping grounds. A highlight, funnily enough, was getting the chance to go busking in both Tavistock and Plymouth city centre. There’s an element of chaos and unpredictability to busking that isn’t replicated at function gigs, and it reminded us how much we love it.

But, to paraphrase an old proverb – it’s not over until… all the Busketeers stop singing and go on holiday in two weeks.

Final Couple of Tour Dates

Following on from that, this blog will be a tad shorter, as there are only a couple of weeks left before we all go on our holibobs. That said, we’ve still got a couple of fun gigs coming up to pop on the ol’ radar:

• Saturday, April 12th – The Bread and Roses; 9–11pm

• Thursday, April 17th – The Old Warehouse, Kingsbridge; 7–9pm

Busketeers Cover Album

Last but not least – we’re very excited to announce that we’ll be releasing a 12-track album featuring some of our favourite and more unique cover songs. The aim is to smash it all out in a day, including some live videos to supplement the recordings.

This is happening in just over two weeks, so assuming all goes to plan, it won’t be long before you can check it out. We hope you’re looking forward to hearing it as much as we are! The plan is to have it available on streaming platforms – and maybe even on CD, for all you physical media supporters out there.

Take care and enjoy this lovely weather,

Ken, Luke, Olly and Matt
