Skinner & T'witch are mega excited about the release of their new (5th) album, 'Skinner & T'witch - The Sketches'! !!OUT NOW!!

Listen to/Download the album via: www.skinnerandtwitch.bandcamp.com

Skinner & T'witch have recorded a series of comical sketches, first played on the FAB Folk & Blues Show, when they guest hosted for Big Uncle Tony Haynes on Wetherby, Yorkshire's Tempo 107.4 FM. These 10 sketches have now been gathered up into a collection that has just been released!

The concept is that Steve Skinner is a roving reporter, undertaking worldwide ethnographic musical research, and reporting back on this to the Tempo FM studio:

1. The Balinese Mountain Orchestra
2. The Singing Tortoises of Borneo
3. Wassailing in Southern Oxfordshire
4. The Maldivian Pie Song
5. The Bingley Castle Ghost
6. The Norweigian Cow Herders
7. The Singing Monks of Holy Island
8. The Icelandic Carpet Beaters
9. The Spanish Mountain Water Festival
10. The Badgers of Bingley Beck

'I don't like the sketches... I love them!' Trevor Krueger, The Folk Show, Big Ear Radio

'Outrageously clever!' Geoff Yerrell, The Village Stage Studio Sessions

Recorded (remotely) at The Billiard Room Studio and produced by the truly marvellous Carl Rosamond of RRS Music & Media, Leeds, England: www.rrsmusic.com

Skinner & T'witch are delighted by the superb cover for the album (even if we do say so ourselves! ????), from the design studio of the wonderfully creative Sarah Patrick: www.sarahpatrickdesign.co.uk
