Taken from Documenting Snapshots, the new album from Gilmore & Roberts, watch their video for ‘I, Burnum Burnum’, based on the declaration read out by Australian Aboriginal activist Burnum Burnum, as he planted the Aboriginal flag on the beach in Dover on 26th January 1988.

Having become mainstays of the folk, roots and acoustic scene, Gilmore & Roberts’ ‘Documenting Snapshots’ is a magnificent, mercurial album that will cement and further enhance their reputation as purveyors of the finest-quality music.

Now in its fifth year, the festive roots music supergroup A Winter Union hit the road for their annual winter tour, armed with their brand new live album, A Winter Union – Live In Concert.
