Lady Maisery, featuring Hazel Askew, Hannah James and Rowan Rheingans, have announced their fourth studio album and a launch tour in November but they need your help in making it a reality.

For those that missed it, watch the latest Hudson Records Listening Club which featured the brilliant Rowan Rheingans, with her debut solo album ‘The Lines We Draw Together’.

The next Hudson Records Listening Club features Rowan Rheingans with her album The Lines We Draw Together. Join us on Sunday morning to listen in full to the album along with commentary and insights from Rowan.

This month saw the release of The Lines We Draw Together, the new album from Rowan Rheingans. Watch her new video for album track “Lines” and don’t miss her album launch, with her full band, at Kings Place on Sept 5th.

The Lines We Draw Together is a piece of work that sounds both fresh and full of experience, an album for our times, but steeped in history, its poetry is not short on intellectual rigour, but its message is one of earthy wisdom and simplicity – an important album, an album that is full of life.

This month Rowan Rheingans embarks on an ambitious and deeply personal one-woman show “Dispatches on the Red Dress”, an intimate and adventurous exploration of memory, identity, joy, sorrow, trauma-recovery, war and waltzes.

Lady Maisery and Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith join forces for a 9-date Christmas Show featuring an evening of galvanising songs for the wintertime, drawing on a variety of winter traditions from rousing folk carols to more contemplative and hopeful music to brighten the darkest season.

The beginning of 2016 saw the release of the Songs of Separation album, a project featuring Jenny Hill, Eliza Carthy, Hannah James, Hannah Read, Hazel Askew, Jenn Butterworth, Karine Polwart, Kate Young, Mary Macmaster and Rowan Rheingans. To mark its end a final film was commissioned called ‘The Album and Beyond,’ watch it here.


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.

Multi-award winning folk musician Nancy Kerr and her Sweet Visitor Band provide an evening of top entertainment at Ashcroft Arts Centre which included new material that will feature on her next album.

Songs of Separation is a superlative and essential record, from its initial concept through to the final result; it’s a huge accomplishment by anybody’s standards and all involved have every right to feel justifiably proud of their achievement.

Priddy Folk Festival announce first acts for 2016 including Belshazzar’s Feast, Lady Maisery, Lucy Ward Band, Beth Porter and the Availables and Rory McLeod. Check our festival preview here.
