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.

Lady Maisery deliver compelling messages in the most memorable ways. ‘tender’, their first studio album in six years, finds them delivering their strongest collection of songs yet and instantly re-establishes them at the forefront of British folk music.

On 11 November, Lady Maisery, the combined multi-talents of Hazel Askew, Hannah James and Rowan Rheingans, return with their new album ‘tender’. Watch the accompanying video for ‘bird i do not know’, their lead single, a song of hope, born of turbulent times.

Cycle is without doubt, an album stuffed full of formidable singing and excellent musicianship. But more than this, it is an album that has something to say about today’s world and is aware of its place in history. Lady Maisery are unafraid to challenge preconceptions about folk music but are aware of its cultural significance and its historical imperative. This album proves that they are worthy custodians and spirited agitators.
