Thanks for the nice words and play of Wave Is Due.

It’s nice to be missed…

Espousingly indebted to Stoke Newington Music Festival for allowing us to grace their altar at St Paul’s Church on Saturday 21st Oct 2017.

Thank you to BBC CountryFile for giving us the opportunity to play the first, of what I’m sure will be many, CountryFile festivals.

From the man who has arguably re-invented himself more than Prince and Bowie combined it was yet another demonstration of his flair & flounce. John Craven has yet again outdone even himself to carry off an impressive & hearty livestock show – somehow primitive yet sophisticated at the same time.

I particularly enjoyed the pointer dog sniffing out explosives, fortunately a demonstration in this case.

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be playing BBC’s Countryfile LIVE at Blenheim Palace on Sunday 7th August at 2pm.

Hosted by the man that’s re-invented himself more times than David Bowie and Prince combined…yes none other than John Craven!

Showcasing the best of the British Countryside.

More info available here.

Exalted to announce the official release date of WATER PAGEANT’s debut album OUTLINES on Glide Records as of 29th April 2016.

We’re honoured to share this date with other notable historical events including:

• 1429 – Joan of Arc arrives to relieve the Siege of Orléans.

• 1770 – James Cook arrives at and names Botany Bay, Australia.
  Like Cook I was born in glamorous Middlesbrough and my middle name is dedicated to him, but I must confess to being a very fragile traveller.

• 1882 – The “Elektromote“, forerunner of the trolleybus, is tested by Ernst Werner von Siemens in Berlin.

• 1832 – Évariste Galois is released from prison.
  Who?

Buoyant to have been shortlisted from 8,000 artists to play SXSW 2016 in Austin, Texas.

The first album review of our soon to be released endeavor; OUTLINES courtesy of Nightshift magazine:

“Water Pageant’s debut is a very fine album indeed. In common with the best of the genre – Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver and Oxford’s own Liu Bei”
Rob Langham, Nightshift Magazine

Buoyed to hear Layers featured on Wednesday’s Late Junction by the legendary and daring Fiona Talkington.

Alot of people seem to be talking about the duo Water Pageant at the moment

Honoured to share airtime with a playlist that quite frankly reads like the in-flight menu of a journey into a parallel universe: Tom Waits, Bartok , Jaga Jazzist, Sam Lee, Stephan Micus, Cork Gamelan Ensemble…
