"An album of big tunes – it sparks powerful emotions" fRoots magazine
"A unique sound" Sheffield Telegraph
"The arrangements are subtle as well as sonorous and the textures richly varied. These are great musicians at the top of their game – inspired" Songlines
"Glorious" BBC Radio Folk and Acoustic website
"Confirms his (Martin Carthy) unassailable role as English folk’s elder statesman" Daily Telegraph

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
