    A 12 track album recorded in 2009/2010 with Tom A Wright, in Newcastle, England.

    Artwork was done by Rosie Hood, but the final draft was overlooked and the original pressing was made with the incorrect artwork, largely due to Connell's inexperience.

    The album was made with instrumental contributions from Colin Nicholson (Black Market Tune) and Lucy Farrell, as well as Tom A Wright.

lyrics

Come all you fair and tender ladies
take warning how you court your men
there like a star on a summer morning
they first appear and then they're gone

they'll tell to you some loving story
then they make you think that they love you well
then away they'll go to court some other
and leave you there in grief to dwell

I wish I was some little sparrow
One of those that flies so high
Away I'd go to my false lover
And when he'd speak I would deny
