...and to announce the Oysterband Homecoming Tour for Nov/Dec (see Tour Dates, right). Tickets are on sale now for all dates except Canterbury (available from 5th August).
Post-Ragged Kingdom (see next item), it's time to get back to some of the other things we do best! You'll see under Tour Dates that we've specified whether the shows are seated, standing, both, or one with a bit of the other. The intention is that the standing shows will be full-bore, the seated ones more thoughtful. You pays your money and...
We've now completed the last few dates with June Tabor on the Ragged Kingdom tour that has kept us so busy for the last 18 months. We certainly finished in some style, with a miners' institute, two cathedrals and an opera house.
Other than a festival appearance at Dranouter in Belgium in August, that's the end of our collaboration with June for the foreseeable future - but it's been a wonderful experience. Our warmest thanks to June for sharing this project with us and giving it her all. We won't leave it another 21 years.
Ragged Kingdom is available as a CD from our online shop and as a download from the usual places. But if you're into the great vinyl revival, go to Stamford Audio at www.stamfordaudio.co.uk for the vinyl edition - audiophile quality, gatefold sleeve, the works.

THE OYSTERBAND PHONE APP
-- available free in Android and iPhone versions from the relevant App Stores, also via the button second down on the right on this page --
and
THE WIDGET
-- brought to you by the fine folks at ReverbNation, ever on the lookout for ways to help bands promote their music online.
It's a cunning little device, including songs, videos, reviews, contacts to buy tickets, gig-list, map, and more. It's designed to be easily copied, shared, posted and passed on, as you'll see if you hit the "Share" button below.
So you can put it on your own website or blog or social networking page and convert your friends to Oystermusic. When they say "What's the band like, then?" you now have a snappy answer!
And best of all, the widget is "live". So when we change the songs or add new live dates, that automatically updates every copy of the widget that has been posted anywhere else - how smart is that?
It's all in there - go on, have a play with it........
