Skinny Lister Share Heart Warming “Embers” Video Ahead Of UK Tour

Before they hit the road this Autumn, Skinny Lister have released a brand new video for Embers. The band who are touring the UK and Europe in support of their acclaimed fifth album, A Matter Of Life & Love, invite you to bask in one of its most heart-warming moments. A strident example of the Skinnies’ feel-good, shanty-folk at its very finest, Embers also embodies many of the core themes that course through their latest album.

“Embers” is a song about friendship. The simple joy we feel in the warmth of good company. It also raises a glass, and enjoys a moment of reflection, to those friends we may have lost along the way. A celebration of the here and now but with a healthy dose of nostalgia. The video was a joy to shoot. We were blessed with the fine company of Dunton Bassett Folk Club musicians, of which Party George (Max and Lorna’s dad) is one. He’s been attending the weekly Leicestershire folk night for over 30 years, and long may he continue to do so. It was great to hang out with these excellent folk around the fire, have a few drinks and play a bunch of tunes. Heart warming stuff!”

A song sure to raise a toast and the roof at their upcoming shows, Skinny Lister will be heading to Germany and Switzerland from this September, before returning to the UK for a sixteen-date run culminating with a show at Islington Assembly Hall in London. With dates in all corners of the country, from Leeds to Portsmouth and Edinburgh to Wolverhampton to Milton Keynes amongst others, it comes in the wake of the band’s multiple sold-out UK shows last winter and their 2022 tour supporting ska-punk heroes Less Than Jake.

Skinny Lister will be joined in Europe by San Diego punk rockers Bandaid Brigade and rock ’n roll songwriter Jon Snodgrass, whereas the UK leg will bring a range of special guests to fans across the country.
