Watch Rachael Dadd’s new video for the track Tsubomi which is taken from her latest album ‘Bite The Mountain’. Also listen to her recent interview with Kings Place where she is headlining this Friday.

An alt-folk mix that seemed to fit the quiet frozen mornings very well. It’s all very relaxed featuring some of the most wonderful and ethereal voices including Rachel Dadd, Rachel Sermanni, Nick Drake, This is The Kit, Tess and more!

Wig Smith is the other half of folk duo The Hand which comprises Bristol singer-songwriter Rachael Dadd. At the end of April he announced the release of his solo debut A Means of Escape Through a Hedge.
