Pic­tish Trail have plen­ty of tour dates lined up for this year, includ­ing some fes­ti­val appear­ances – Green Man fes­ti­val fea­tures, as always. Walk the Line and Lost Map present: Ley­line Shows in South West of Eng­land with sup­port from Lost Map artist Bas Jan, plus a DJ set by Guto Pryce of Super Fur­ry Animals. 

Isle-of-Eigg dwelling elec­tro-acoustic psych-pop won­der Pic­tish Trail AKA John­ny Lynch’s most recent acclaimed album Island Fam­i­ly explores con­nec­tions to place and time from the view­point of his life on a remote Scot­tish island. Which makes him a nat­ur­al choice of head­lin­er for Ley Line – a quest for myth, mag­ic, music and mer­ri­ment around the ancient land­scape of south-west Eng­land. It’s pre­sent­ed by Weird Walk, a jour­nal of wan­der­ings and won­der­ings from the British Isles, in par­tic­i­pa­tion with Lost Map Records.

Bas Jan is the vehi­cle for harpist, and Jarvis Cock­er asso­ciate, Ser­a­fi­na Steer, vio­lin­ists Emma Smith and Char­lie Stock and per­cus­sion­ist Rachel Hor­wood. Their new work Baby U Know is out now via Lost Map
