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."

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.

Oh well!  Embarrassed

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?

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.....
