Wow, not sure what I was expecting, but the EP is brilliant, certainly puts the "Rock" back in the genre. Great musicianship and vocals, 5 very strong tracks. I definitely stand by my earlier comment about passing on to the next generation, they have done an excellent job.
Just a shame they are looking for bigger venues than the one I use to promote bands, though I just hope they play somewhere close on next years tour. Can't wait for a full album.

Straght away? Not a chance! The Musicianm is the size I would be looking to put them in. Who is their agent? (hopefully not Ashley).
Blair missed a big chance at Cropredy - he should have got them up during his set to play at least a couple. Would have done them more favours than getting his Dad up.

I just asked for one and it was sent to me free. Not sure whether that's because I'm a promoter or not. This is what it says on the website. "Alternatively contact us here at Albion Folk and we will forward you a copy of the cd after the event." http://www.albionfolk.co.uk/artist/artistdetails/artistId/42nick@albionfolk.co.uk |

Ordered.
The quote on the ebay listing, taken from a website that seems to be still under construction is quite revealing I think. I am getting used to the idea, particularly if the music is as good as reports seem to indicate.

I got mine free by asking for one! I'm not a promoter or anything.

Oh well!  Hopefully some of the money will find its way back to the band. I was prepared to pay for a copy if it had been on sale at Cropredy so I'm not too bothered. |

*munches away on his headgear*
I've listened to nothing else (but the new CD) for the last couple of days....and...
Well, very simply, it reminds me of why I got into this (folk-rock) genre of music approximately 30 years ago, and why I feel so sad when I listen to the latest releases put out by that genre's 'mothership'.
I will do everything in my power to support this band, and I very much look forward to seeing them next year.
(Just how wrong is it possible to be about something?! Whoops...)

Wow - high praise indeed! Is there a link to a soundbite of this record so that I can get a taste? Jules |

Do I have to listen to the whole thing, or do you know at what juncture they appear? Not that I'm opposed to listening to over an hour of folk, you understand..... Jules |

Jules According to the times at the side, the track is at 13:58 to 17:52. Oi, you'll listen to the lot and like it!  Or not - but if not you'll miss a lot of other cool music that you should also know about, from a wide and varied selection of artists playing a wide and varied selection of styles: Helen Dorothy - Bateleurs - Katriona Gilmore and Jamie Roberts - The Albion Band - The Cecil Sharp Project - David Serby - Nick Tann - Ken Nicol - Acoustra - Red Kite Rising - Steve Blackstone - Phil Beer - The Saw Doctors. |
