With a stage show to complement the CD David Gibbs offers up a great new album for children featuring the likes of Blue Rose Code, Nancy Kerr, Bella Hardy, Lucy Ward and Jez Lowe.

On Songs from the Shipyards The Unthanks capture that indefinable link between men and ships…from the pride and love that many had to the sudden sad decline and loss of work and community.

The BBC is to feature six new one-hour Radio Ballads in the run up to the 2012 Olympics. The series will feature songs from Jez Lowe, Chris Wood, Martin Simpson, Julie Matthews and Steve Tilston.

Traditional folk singer Maggie Boyle took to the road in April to visit great songwriters in their homes, to talk to them about their work and to record some of their music as part of her great new ‘Kitchen Songs’ project.

‘All Along the Wall’ was an incredible and miraculous project which resulted in an album and show which is deserving of continued resurrection. So the good news is that Boo Hewerdine, Jez Lowe, Julie Matthews, Rory McLeod, Ruth Notman, Kate Fox, Elvis McGonagall and Kate Bramley will reunite for a further three shows in September 2011!
