We’re really sorry but we won’t now be joining The Popguns in Birmingham tonight due to a family emergency. We’re gutted to let everyone down. It’ll still be a fantastic night. Simon, Helen, Rob and Andy.

We’re in Oslo for a few hours. Transferring for our flight to @indiefjord

Last night we went for a midnight stroll in Alesund. #nevergetsdark #indiefjord

Up the big hill above Alesund.

We’re at @indiefjord . Probably the most beautiful festival setting in the world. This is Andy playing a solo set yesterday.
