It seems strange to be talking of Autumn tour dates already but with just a few weeks left of summer, the season will soon be changing as the leaves on the trees begin to turn. While that may seem a sad prospect to some there’s one folk duo which may well change that mournful mindset.
In his review of Feather, the latest album from BBC Folk award-winning duo Hannah Martin and Phillip Henry who now sail under the beautiful name of Edgelarks, Thomas Blake wrote:
“The link between nature, happiness and creativity is evidently a preoccupation of Martin’s lyrics: she explores similar ideas in Oyster, a song that works on many levels. It details how nature can create beauty despite adversity, and how humans could learn from that.” Read the full review.
For those seeking further inspiration, you can catch them on a short tour during October before they head out on the road with Peter Knight and his gang as the incredible Gigspanner Big Band during November.
In the meantime, here are Hannah and Phillip performing Oyster:
