We're always very excited to get emails (so long as they're not spam emails - our viagra stockpile is large enough as it is, thank you). If you'd like to book us to play, please, please get in contact with us.

E-mail us: contact AT north for the winter SPOT com

This email address links straight to both Chris's and my own (Jim's) inboxes - one of us will respond back as quickly as possible. Many Thanks.

LIVE PLAY

For live play, North for the Winter also play using an IEM (In Ear Monitoring) set which allows us to monitor our own vocals. We have a mini mixer on stage that takes inputs from low power preamps that we plug into the vocal mics. This allows us to set vocal monitor levels ourselves without needing to trouble the sound engineer.
