Who wants to see/hear the first song we performed live with Jess? www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ib2... Huge thanks to John Bailey for this video, and to Derry Jones for mixing the sound.

Tonight's the night. First gig with Jess and we're super excited to kick off the next era. If you're in the west midlands, get yourself to Woodman Folk Club for 8pm tonight.

Calling anyone in or near Sudbury, Suffolk. If you're at all interested in how a songwriter turns inspiration in to a song, then this show is for you. You don't need to be a songwriter or musician to enjoy the show, just a curious and music loving mind. quaytheatre.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

Yesterday was my most successful ever pre-order launch. Thank you so much to everyone that has ordered "Playing Solitaire" so far. Pre-orders will remain open until release day on 2nd May.

Pre-orders are now open for CDs and Digital Downloads of my new album "Playing Solitaire" (look in the comments). It's been nearly 5 years since I last released a solo album, so I'm really excited about getting this new music to you. philcooper.bandcamp.com/album/playin...

Exciting news everyone! We are very happy to be welcoming Jess Vincent to The Lost Trades’ family. Some of you may already be aware of Jess’s quality, and will understand why we’re so excited to be adding her wonderful songwriting and brilliantly distinctive voice to the mix.

#OTD - 2021, upstairs in the Voodoo Lounge of the Exeter Phoenix for an evening with the @thelosttrades.bsky.social 😎 #LiveMusic #Gig

Oh hi Bluesky, I hear you're open to the general public now.

What are you doing tonight at 8pm (GMT)? We'll be broadcasting a live streamed concert from Phil's studio and we'd love you to join us. The live stream is "pay-what-you-want" including free, and is accessible to anyone. Join us here www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Vlw...

Vocal harmony is the perfect example of how people can be doing different things, but still make one amazing thing happen. It's like... a metaphor for life or something... maybe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdH7...

Wonderful evening with @thelosttrades.bsky.social supported by Ashley Harding at the Morgawr in Falmouth on Saturday! Seeing them on home turf at last was pretty darned special 😊

We had a wonderful night at The Morgawr last night. Thank you to the wonderful people of Falmouth. There was a moment where we were worried that Phil had gone missing, but it turned out he was just blending in with the background.

Excited about our trip to play at The Morgawr, Falmouth. We've been trying to get down to play in Cornwall for ages!

Last night we put out this music video for our song "Fireflies". youtube.com/watch?v=IdH7... It contains footage from a lot of the fun times we had during our spring tour. The winter tour fun times continue tonight in Calne, and tomorrow in Falmouth.

Brand new music video alert! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdH7...

As someone who has to design graphics for promotion/marketing, my big bugbear is apps that make you use certain dimensions for their banners and then completely ignore those dimensions in practice! Bluesky I'm looking at you!

If only there was a contemporary Folk/Americana band who could not only write great modern folk songs, but who could perform them in three part harmony whilst using a variety of instruments. Oh, wait, there is!! thelosttrades.com

Just added new tracks to this playlist, including our friend Thom Morecroft whose new album is well worth a listen. open.spotify.com/playlist/10j...

Do you just love lush vocal #harmonies? You do? great! Then you're sure to enjoy this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGb9... #FolkMusic #NewMusic
