Old Spot are a new Old-Time duo featuring Joe Danks and Rowan Piggott. The first video from Old Spot’s debut album sees earthy gourd banjo and the natural beauty of Padley Gorge underpinning the winding Old Time fiddle tune ‘Black Eyed Susie Jane’.
Joe Danks’ Seaspeak is a sumptuous and adroitly crafted collection. Equally comfortable and adept at creating original work and providing fascinating nuances and arrangements to traditional fare, the album is a very welcome addition to this year’s list of fine releases.
Taken from Joe Danks’ forthcoming maritime-inspired debut album Seaspeak, watch the video for Sea Fever, a re-imagining of two poems from John Masefield’s much loved Salt-water Poems & Ballads collection.
