English Folk Field Recordings Volume 2 LP with printed inner sleevenotes

$24.32

A second snapshot of the English folk scene right now - from seasoned professionals to folk club singers, everyone is equal. Recorded on location, in front rooms and kitchens with two pairs of microphones, capturing immediate, intimate performances. For this second volume, we cast our net wider. From old Northumbrian kingdoms, through the Midlands, way over to the Welsh border, with an expanding set of experimental and traditional musicians interpreting the music that roots them, in their own unique ways. This is not the collecting of songs - rather, the documenting of a continuum that thrives, flourishes and persists in this country. This is each artist’s response to what From Here means to them, by way of identity or place, feeling, reflection or memory: “this is who I am, this is where I’m from”.

Heavyweight 180g vinyl.
