More of wot I have heard…

I bought the following albums after seen the artists at the recent Womad festival. There are all probably loosely called folk, but they are quite different from each other.


The Ha’ O’ Habrahellia by Fribo

As you can tell be the name this group is not totally English in origin.

Their website states that - Fribo is a unique collaboration between three musicians from Norway, Scotland and England, who are rapidly gaining recognition and acclaim for blending their own musical styles together with sensitivity and an exuberant feel for contemporary sounds and rhythms.

The music is lively and different and perhaps a little challenging at times.


I am the Man by Simone White

I like this album very much, it is quirky, modern, and pointed and the singer has a lovely voice. I can listen to this over and over again.


After the Morning by Cara Dillon

Perhaps the most traditional of the three this Irish singer’s album is lovely and gentle collection of good melodies and good tunes.
