A crisp, clear shot of Andy on stage, orange glowing lights in soft focus behind him, wearing a black shirt with red linework on it, as he holds a banjo hanging around his waist with his left hand, and points directly at YOU (the camera), and looks into your eyes. Beneath is the text "HEY YOU!" A photo from a live show of Robbie in a boiler suit, in the midst of a crowd of people. Everyone is lit with red, he has a mic in hand, looking ever-so-slightly like a man who has committed himself to something he now regrets. The audience appears to be enjoying the events though, so that's nice. Underneath is the text "WE WANT TO SEE 👁️👁️" A genuinely lovely picture of JD, in a denim shirt and black trousers, holding a mic, sat down on a raised bit of stage, surrounded by guitars. He has a big, beaming smile on his face as if he's been photographed mid-laugh. Underneath is the text "YOUR HAPPY TOUR MEMORIES" A poster for the upcoming Ends of the Earth tour, showing a list of tour dates over the pale blue and yellow skies, above the tropical, wildlife-strewn island from the album's artwork (there's a giant crocodile, large hippos, an extensive amount of snake, and some structures that are positively tiny in comparison). It also lists the support for the shows: Bog Bodies for Dublin, Aniar for Belfast, and Sean Dagher for everywhere else. The tour dates are as follows: May 2026 Fri 08 - Dublin, Academy Sat 09 - Belfast, The Limelight 2 Mon 11 - Liverpool, O2 Academy Tue 12 - Lancaster, Kanteena Wed 13 - Glasgow, Old Fruit Market Fri 15 - Newcastle, Boiler Shop Sat 16 - Manchester, Academy 2 Sun 17 - Leeds, Irish Centre Tue 19 - Oxford, O2 Academy Wed 20 - Cardiff, The Globe Fri 22 - Exeter, Phoenix Mon 25 - Southampton, the 1865 Tue 26 - Cambridge, Junction Wed 27 - London, O2 Shepherds Bush Empire Thu 28 - Nottingham, Rock City Sat 30 - Bristol, Beacon

There’s just one week to go until we close the Social Folk Dance Caller Census and we’ve been blown away by the response so far!
If you’ve not yet filled in the survey there’s still time before the deadline - Monday 20 July.
