    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.

about

Written by Gillian Welch, Mandy played this song quite often with Richard Grace when she first started performing.

It's a languorous, enjoyable melody and simple to play on mandolin.

lyrics

Paper wings, all torn and bent
But you made me feel that they were heaven sent
Paper wings, not real at all

But they took me high enough to really fall
Your paper kisses faded too soon
Just like a paper rose beneath a paper moon
Paper wings, paper wings

Oh how could I expect to fly with only paper wings
Angels were singing, didn't you hear
If only I'd listened close when they whispered in my ear
Paper wings, paper wings
