As Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage, Katriona Gilmore and Jamie Roberts and Jade Rhiannon (The Willows) prepare once again to head out on a series of Christmastide Shows they will also be packing a suitcase full of CDs including their new live album A Winter Union – Live In Concert, recorded at Otford Memorial Hall in December 2018.
For those looking for that traditional Christmas celebration with a contemporary twist then this may be just what you’re after. The band perform folk songs from across the Yuletide traditions and will delight you with glorious wassails and carols of course, but also a smattering of country classics and covers, and original songs heralding the joys of the season. These songs are stirred together with such beautiful 5-part harmonies that you won’t be able to resist but join your voice with theirs. And not only that! There’s dobro and fiddle, mandolin and dulcimer, guitars a-plenty and a shruti box thrown in for good measure.
