'Haunted Mirror' wins awards!

Wow! We'll be breaking out Aunt Ethel's sherry rations here in the Scissorcave later on - those lovely people at Stagger Indie on Cambridge105 have made 'Haunted Mirror' their 'Local Album of 2016', which was very nice of them.
This comes after coming number four in Dave Hammond's top 20 albums of 2016, and number five in Bob's Aural Delights 2016 roundup. It's very nice to be appreciated!
Big, big thanks to the aforementioned radio peeps for their continued support, and to all of you out there who have stuck with us!
Onwards, ever onwards!!
Love, THE SCISSORS

Listen again to our Stagger Indie show appearance

You can catch our unplugged (and unwashed) appearance on Monday's Stagger Indie Cambridge 105 show on Mixcloud!

We played two songs live and acoustic in the studio, 'Haunted Mirror' (about 30 minutes in) and 'Attack of the Phantom Teardrops' (about 40 minutes in), plus some tracks from the album and other things we brought along...

Radio, live transmission...

The Scissors' new album will be released on 11 March, and to spread the word we'll be appearing on the radio on a few shows to play tracks from it and talk about how we (eventually) made it!

First up, we're on Stagger Indie on Cambridge 105 next Monday (22 February). Tune in at 10pm for fun and frolics!

'Those of you in the cheaper seats, rattle your beer glasses'

Big thanks to everyone who came and saw us last weekend, either at Curious Yellow Weekend, or The Elm Tree - glad you liked the new songs we debuted! It was nice that Stagger Indie made the Elm Tree set their gig-of-the-week - cheers guys!

We'll now (inbetween holidays) try and finish work on our new as yet untitled album - although we like Stagger Indie's suggestion of 'Never Trust The Scissors' - part of which will be a sort of connected song-cycle. Sounds dangerously prog, but we think you'll like it!
