A lovely shot from our first performance of the year at Amgueddfa Pontypridd Museum for St David's Day a couple of Fridays ago.

It was also our first show as parents, and Baby Emlyn's first Hazel & Grey gig! We'll have to get him on the harp for the next one...

Digging around and came across a video that never saw the light of day. Mainly because we filmed it in the dead of night...

It's a little rough and ready, but we thought we'd upload it as a stocking filler ahead of some HD H&G in the new year. Enjoy!

We came off stage after (possibly) our last show of the year at Parc Arts earlier this week to find that Eleanor Beer | Graphic Recording & Facilitation had captured the whole thing on paper. A lovely moment!

'Hazel & Grevegoodman' in #Rudry for Off The Beaten Track last weekend.

Cheers to everybody who caught H&G at Off the Beaten Track as well as Matthew Frederick's solo set and his couple of numbers with Eve Goodman at the end of her show to round things off!

Just about to head to Off the Beaten Track. A little solo set to kick things, followed by Hazel & Grey later this afternoon. See you shortly!

#OffTheBeatenTrack

After a couple of spontaneous songs towards the end of Matthew Frederick's solo sets in Cheltenham and Chippenham over the past couple of weeks, it's time for a full H&G set this weekend at Off the Beaten Track. See you tomorrow, by which time the rain will hopefully have eased a little!

It's over to Usk for the The Weekend Rumble tomorrow, with a solo set from Matthew Frederick followed by a little H&G!

Here's Matthew Frederick's latest solo mailout, with a bit of H&G (and Climbing Trees) news for good measure!

Here's my latest mailout, which includes at least two typos, plus news of a very short solo English tour, a slightly longer Welsh one with Climbing Trees, the return of Frederick's Festival Filofax, and a picture of me sans beard...

Apologies, a lost voice (and another on its way out) means that we're no longer able to perform tonight, unfortunately. But we definitely recommend going to catch Joe if you can!
