We just landed in Hamburg to discover that @airfrance & @WestJet have lost our guitars, bass, pedal boards & lap steel 😭😭 We are taping for TV here in Hamburg tomorrow — if YOU have a lap steel (or know somebody who does in/around the Hamburg area), please get in touch 🙏🙏

A week before Cropredy 2018 our friends who used to accompany us to Cropredy; Paul and Val, were involved in a road accident with their horse and cart. Tragically Val lost her life. Paul and Molly the dog are with us here this weekend. Friends, memories & Cropredy x #Cropredy2019
