Fanfarlo: limited editions, Bandstand Busking videos and tour dates

The rather wonderful Fanfarlo have been beavering away to make 500 limited edition copies of their forthcoming album, Reservoir. We love a bit of a DIY ethos her at FFS (which is why our HQ is only half painted...) so were delighted when we saw this picture of the band mid-make.
