What's a Dulcitone?

A 100-year-old Glasgow-built piano-like thing that sounds a bit like a broken ice cream van. Well, ours does, even though it was acquired from the stupendously good Adrian McNally of The Unthanks.

​

Are you playing live?

No. Well, probably not. Who knows what might happen in the topsy-turvy world of instrumental folk?

​

Do you like lighthouses?

Yes.

​

Why aren't you playing live?

There are too many instruments and not enough limbs. Besides, we don't like to leave the lighthouse.

​

Are you saying you're not good enough to play live?

Aha - no! The recordings are in fact all made as a live duo, but other instruments are added later in an alchemical studio process known as "cheating". To recreate such intricacy on stage requires many more limbs than we can amass at short notice.

​

Do you really live in a lighthouse?

No, not really.

​

Can you really see the rocks?

Yes. Yes, we can.

​​​

Why are you called Flood plain?

Good question. We put it to a public vote and it won, narrowly beating  'Food pain', 'I don't care, stop bothering me', and 'Folky McFolkface'.

​

Do you have folk beards?

Duh.
