Apologies to anyone overseas expecting their CDs. The Royal Mail is currently unable to take items for international delivery due to a “cyber incident”. They’re not sure when this will be resolved. They’ve just introduced an option to process international parcels online and post them in a parcel post box, but there are still likely to be significant delays.

Orders received after Friday 16 December will be mailed out after Christmas. This is due to significant disruptions in the delivery network, namely bad weather and strikes.
Some orders placed and mailed out at the end of November are still in the Royal Mail system. Hoping everyone receives their orders very soon.
Kathryn joins Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye for an episode of Add to Playlist, on Friday 4th November at 7.15pm, together with pianist and songwriter Joe Stilgoe and percussionist Ruairi Glasheen. What better company for a dark November evening?
