Our Song of the Day comes from none other then Alasdair Roberts, an artist who has featured on Folk Radio UK since the early days and one who had a strong influence on the direction we sailed in after he sent me a small bundle of music all those years ago.
Artless One is taken from his forthcoming self-titled album on Drag City. The lovely harmony you can hear comes the wonderful The Crying Lion – featuring members of Trembling Bells (Alex Neilson and Lavinia Blackwall) and Muldoon’s Picnic (Harry Campbell and Katy Cooper) – We featured them in session last year (Click here to listen). And in case you thought that melody sounded familiar it’s inspired by “The Rigs of Rye”.
We are also pleased to announce that Alasdair Robersts will be performing at our very own Levels Collective on Fri 27th Mar, 2015 – Bridgwater Art Centre, Somerset. Tickets here.
