One of the shots we used on the cover of "Self Titled". Glenn on the left, Les on the right.


On stage at the 2002 Canterbury Folk Festival.


In 2004, I (Les, here, by the way.) made a trip home, and had the great pleasure of playing a few tunes at Folk Night at the Ship. The fact that I was accompanied by the incomparable Jean Hewson made it a real performance highlight.
I'm playing the six-key Terry Mcgee flute that is quite simply the most fabulous object I have ever owned.

(I was thinking of calling this picture "Les on-stage with a very nice ivory frog", but I figured people might not understand that I was referring to the fiddle bow just visible under my elbow.)

We've always tried to work Fisherman's Friends into out albums one way or another, since we throw them back by the fistful while we're recording, to chase the frogs out of our throats. The first time around, we just credited them. Then we credited them in Latin. On our most recent effort, we let them join the band. This is Les, carefully executing a percussion part on a tin of lozenges.
We've really got to stop taking ourselves so seriously.
