Double Dog of the Day

“Sadly I can’t offer a current dog of the day as our lovely springer spaniel passed away earlier this year,” says Jude Shepherd, a barrister at 42 Bedford Row. “But this is my daughter Martha (7) with her pony, Rainbow and my rather daft mare, Ceri.

“I would like to say that they are keeping us sane in these difficult times, but I spent an hour chasing Rainbow round the field trying to catch him yesterday and Ceri is full of the joys of spring and attempts to trample me to death each morning as I turn her out, so it’s business as usual on the stable yard.”

The Lawyer Listens

The first two tracks are a sample of what the album will probably sound like – full of bass, rhythm and ready for a concert when they are able to have one. The track of today, however, is a more mellow version of what the album should sound like, suited for anyone that just wants to have something to bob their head to while they work and dream of summer. –Ana de Liz
