Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith

Lady Maisery and Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith return with “Wakefire: A Summer Album”, a full-scale double album that trumps its predecessor in both ambition and reward. Presented as a largely chronological account of summer, twenty-seven tracks might sound like something of a throwback in today’s climate of instant gratification, but they make it seem like a revolutionary act, and a hugely gratifying one at that.

To celebrate their 10 years on the folk scene, Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith will embark on an anniversary tour this autumn. They will present a retrospective show with songs & tunes taken from across their 4 albums plus a few new offerings.

Featuring songs from landworkers and some well-known folk singers, ‘Stand Up Now’ is a beautiful and enchanting album that uses its traditional sound to explore a range of political issues surrounding the agricultural industry. Ultimately, it’s an album about hope; hope for a better, fairer world.
