Chris Swayn (From The Warrains) has a new side project. Armed with time from lockdowns and with lyrics from Michael Leeworthy, his father Barry, plus some of his own, he has recorded a new original EP: The Hairy Violinist (available on Bandcamp.)

To help flesh out the songs he assembled The Little Earnest Orchestra, which is namely Jenni Moser (From TARA and The Peninsula Chamber Musicians) on violin.

For live performances they perform as a duo or for larger shows enlist Chris's sons Hamish on drums, and Finn on bass.
