In June this year, Anglo-American folk music duo Cath and Phil Tyler released Some Heavy Hand, a career-spanning compilation album that included previously unreleased tracks. Reviewed by Glenn Kimpton for Folk Radio, he touched on how the “ten pieces show the unpretentious nature of this duo’s music, which contains no wasted notes and is greyhound lean throughout.”
He concludes: “You don’t need to listen hard to enjoy Some Heavy Hand, or any Cath and Phil Tyler album for that matter, but when you do, their subtly intricate performances enrich the material even further. This compilation of obscurities is a beautifully weighted insight into a splendid catalogue of music.”
On Saturday, 16 October, 8pm (Doors 7pm), Cath and Phil will be performing a belated release gig for their 2021 compilation album in Newcastle at The Globe, which will also be live-streamed. Update: The show has been rescheduled to 28 January 2022
