It's the end of the year...

2016 has been an odd year in music and in politics. That goes without saying... however, for us, we've had a wonderful time and we hope you have too!

Onwards and upwards to 2017 where we have shows booked in England and Scotland and we're visiting four new provinces in Canada.  Here's our tour dates for the first half of the year... see  you at a show!!

Canada... you did it again!

What an absolutely soul-sparkling tour yet again! We can't get enough of Canada and Canadian audiences! Sold out shows, standing ovations and re-bookings all over the place! We love you. We'll be back in the Spring.

New design T shirts!!

In our true "Cottage Industry" style, we've been beavering away designing a new design and learning how to screen print.

We're thrilled to unveil ....

Lots of colours, lots of shapes and sizes... available online soon and at shows

See you on the road!

Scotland... we love you!

Thank you to the good folks of Scotland for making our last tour not only a huge success, but also a very relaxing time off between shows.

Thank you Canada...again!

We've been back for a few weeks and the accolades and thank you messages are still coming in!!

We had the most incredible tour in April with sold out theatre shows and TV and radio appearances. We thought you might like to see a few pictures ...

...we love the lakes!!!

Charity work

We're very excited that for our Canadian tour, we've teamed up with CBM Canada, a charity that's passionate about giving hope and healing  to children and families trapped in poverty by disability.
We are both passionate about giving "healinghugs" to some of the poorest kids in the world - giving medical care that heals young bodies and mends broken hearts. Join us in transforming the lives of children so that they can run, play and thrive.

Canada beckons...

Just days before our forthcoming Canada tour (see dates below) this review comes in from Cashbox Canada... and we couldn't be more thrilled!

"A genuinely sparkling and refreshing antidote to the world of musical blandness. Highly recommended!" Cashbox Canada.

Getting around...

Last week, we played three, sold out shows in Devon, UK. Next week, we're off to Canada for a 15 date tour of Ontario and Quebec...
It's not all that surprising really that our new album is called 'Behind The Wheel'!!!!
See you on the road...

Behind The Wheel

Absolutely AMAZING reviews!!

So.... the press have received their advance copies of our forthcoming album, Behind The Wheel, and the reviews that are coming in are positive beyond our wildest dreams!

“Divine Harmonies, the Red Dirt Skinners just keep getting better and better. I love them to bits. Quality music”. Dave Raven, the Raven and Blues Show

“Now five albums to the good, Sussex husband and wife combo Rob and Sarah Skinner have reached a career zenith with Behind The Wheel. Its nine songs exude confidence in writing, performance and production” David Innes, Blues And More Again

“This album is delightful. I’ll be listening to this for some time to come”. Andy Snipper. Music News.

“Behind The Wheel is a beautiful, mature piece of work by two class musicians. Make sure you put it on the top of your shopping list.” The Blues Man in the Hat. Blues in Britain Magazine.

“A glittering ride of originality full of integrity, inspiration and individuality.” 10/10 Bluesdoodles.

“Simply get this CD ASAP and listen to the accomplished musicianship and cool vocal harmonies and try not to force it into any other category than “excellent”” Ian McKenzie, Blues In The South

“Is there a genre called Damn Fine Music? If so, that’s where you’ll find this.” Paul Stewart, Pablo and the Blues show, My Rock Radio

“Fantastic! The harmonies stick out a country mile in a very good way. Thanks for sharing with me and my audience”. Paul Smith The Blues Show. Harbour Radio

“I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish and I love the diversity” Allan Watkiss, UK Country Radio

"I have it on continuous play in my car at the moment. I simply love the whole album. Every song is so well crafted. The recording is superb. Every song has depth and meaning. It truly stands head and shoulders above anything around at the moment.” Nigel Thorne, Blue Horizons, Radio Vera Ireland.
