Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith

Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith return with their second album, Night Hours. Backed by the members of folk trio Teyr, it is an album that is exhilaratingly diverse and full of impeccably crafted and beautifully realised songs.

This week’s mix features all new music, some of which is yet to be released. The one thing they all share is that they push the boundaries in terms of creating original music, and it is this which sets this particular playlist apart.

‘Night Hours’ is the second album release from Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith due out on December 9th, watch their new video for the title track, a song that explores the loneliness of night work in our cities.

Roots 66 is a new folk festival to be held at The Theatre By The Lake in Keswick over the weekend of Feb 5-7th 2016 which will incorporate two showcase concerts to celebrate 40 Years of Fellside Recordings. Lineup includes Chris While & Julie Matthews, Jez Lowe & The Bad Pennies, The Mighty Doonans, Ewan McLennan and more.

This duo really made my week: Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith are a London/Bristol based duo who play mainly traditional music that originates from the British Isles. They perform on guitar and banjo and together with their great vocal harmonies are an absolute joy to listen to. Their debut album ‘Let the Wind Blow High or Low’ is out now on Fellside Records.
