A Constant Companion
I have been a working musician for over 20 years now. Music from the British folk tradition has been a constant companion. I grew up in a small market town in East Dorset called Wimborne Minster which has a well established folk festival, a calendar event which started when I was a child. Folk music was part of the everyday experience.
As a young adult I would listen to Fairport Convention, Trees, Mellow Candle & The Pogues alongside Bowie, Nirvana, Neu & Aphex Twin. Catholic tastes.
It has always been normal for me to enjoy music inspired by, or from the tradition alongside music from other genres.
I have run a monthly folklore society in the upstairs room of a pub in Borough for 7 or 8 years & through the talks I have heard or given I have gained a deep love of the lore of the land which in turn has deepened my relationship with the music from the tradition.
This recording is a collection of songs from the British repertoire which I have heard in clubs or on records or found in song collections. These songs found there way into my life & keep me company.
Thank you to Ian Carter for producing, engineering & mixing these live recordings of voice & guitar.
