The duo of Greg Russell & Ciaran Algar is one of the most significant success stories of the UK Folk scene in recent years. From their debut album in 2012 - recorded when they were still at school - to winning the BBC young Folk Award within months, winning the BBC Horizon Award, a second acclaimed CD followed by stunning DVD and now their third CD. The juxtaposition of Greg's powerful vocals and Ciaran's superb fiddle playing coupled with their relaxed stage presentation is the key to their success. They are also talented on assorted other instruments which they have used more on this new album. Ciaran's arranging skills have come to the fore and more of his own compositions are included revealing a new depth to their music. They have more guest musicians on this new album and this gives them a bigger sound. Their stature grows with each album, but despite the additions it remains very much a duo sound.     

Perhaps unsurprisingly this, their third release, shows increasing maturity in singing, paying and song subject. highly Recommended.
