The folk thread

[Stokie]

Listening to the different voices and arrangements of The Sandy Denny Project. Current line-up is Sally Barker, guitarist PJ Wright, Marion Fleetwood, Gemma Shirley, Mat Davies and Mark Stevens. A reinterpretation rather than a tribute band.

I greatly enjoyed the Eighteenth Day of May who were together for three years and produced one album. From time to time I look to see what individual musicians are doing. This is Alison Cotton who was commissioned by the BBC to produce music for Muriel Spark’s ghost stories. ‘The House of the Famous Poet’

Interesting, thanks @Stokie. I saw her performing her most recent record, Engelchen, last year and it was captivating

[Stokie]

Thanks! I’ve not heard Engelchen yet - available from Rocket Recordings or digital downloads from Bandcamp.

I am dipping into this album only because of Anne Clark’s version of Yeat’s’ the stolen child. I’ve not come across her music before, but her voice is captivating.

Following the Yeat’s thread led me to this … not to my usual taste, but worthy of a listening.
