Recordings

Live at Willenhall - Here it is, our first album!

Not quite what we'd planned though. It's a live recording from a gig at Willenhall Folk Club. Many thanks to Gwyneth and Peter for allowing us to record the evening. It contains 16 tracks consisting of many of our favourites that we've been singing for a while now, and two of Christine's songs.

Here's the track listing. Hover your cursor over the song writer for a few words about each song.

     01. The Briar and The Rose ...Tom Waits
     02. I want to see the bright lights tonight ...Richard Thompson
     03. Simple Things ...Dan McKinnon
04. January Morning ...Christine Connolley
     05. Never mind the weather ...Richard Shindell
     06. Holiday Song ...Mike Sparks
     07. No telling what a love song will do ...Linda Thompson
     08. Roseville Fair ...Bill Staines
     09. I ain't afraid ...Holly Near
10. Roses of No-Man's Land ...Les Sullivan
     11. The Wine Song ...Grant Baynham
12. The Coffee Song ...Christine Connolley

Christine sings her songs (tracks 4 and 12), with a little help from Steve, mainly on guitar.
Track 6 is Christine solo, and track 13 is Steve solo. All the other tracks are our usual two part harmony.
Tracks 1 and 11 are a capella, everything else has Steve accompanying on guitar.

It is a live recording, so it does contain some ambient background noise and a couple of little "live performance nuances". (Euphemism for cock-up)

If you'd like a copy, catch us at a gig, or email us from the Contacts page and I'll let you know where to send your cheque for £6. Only 40p per song, must be a bargain!

For those of you who are interested in the technical stuff; it was recorded using a Zoom H2 portable digital recorder, at 44.1kHz/16bit, then mastered using Audacity software on PC.
