Pete Coe & Alice Jones: music from the vast collection of Leeds-based song collector Frank Kidson (1855-1926) - copies of Kidson's work are available at www.vwml.org.uk - performed here by the one-man-folk-festival that is Pete Coe on vocals, bouzouki, melodeons, banjo, bansitar and Alice Jones on vocals, harmonium, piano, whistles, clarinet and feet assisted by Chris Coe, Johnny Adams, Gina Le Faux and more; superb stuff ... and absolutely essential for Anglophiles everywhere - Llanerch Press currently have published a reproduction of Kidson's 1891 Traditional Tunes, which was originally published with just 200 copies, ISBN 978 1 861430 81 7;
Salt House: Scottish acoustic quartet featuring Siobhan Miller on vocals and harmonium, Ewan MacPherson guitar, banjo, mandolin and vocals, Lauren MacColl on viola and fiddle, Euan Burton on double bass who between them include a BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award 2008 recipient, a Scottish Jazz Award recipient and many titles at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Awards. Seamlessly mixing trad material alongside their own compositions and songs the music reflects the diversity of the individual members working together in glorious harmony;
The Bills: genre-defying Canadian quintet who combine individual prodigious mastery of folk/roots, jazz, classical and world music to produce a glorious sonic feast of songs and tunes that harken back to wisps ofChopin, Stan Rogers and Django Reinhardt but with the trademark exuberance that is The Bills - sheer magic!
Winter Wilson: becoming a duo in 1994 following the demise of their band Ragtrade, Kip Winter and Dave Wilson have released 5 albums of Dave's songs, all of which have received critical success, and with their sixth album they transition to full-time musicians. The album contains all original material, with the exception of the late Nick Kerr's (The McCalmans) song The Field Behind Our House which was written for Kip's mother, and covers a variety of topics including redundancy, emigration, good and bad relationships, and a superb World War One song that unfortunately contains an FCC prohibited word as do a couple of other songs;
Joe Crookston: artist, writer, singer, guitar picker, painter, claw hammer banjoist and eco-village member who writes seriously good story-songs in his spare time! His 2008 release "Able Baker Charlie and Dog" received the most airplay of any folk acoustic recording and was awarded the "Album of the Year" award at the Folk Alliance and his live performances provide an opportunity for the audience to be spirited away to the see the places and meet the people who inhabit his songs.
