Over the last couple of years we've been playing at various folk sessions. Having been a songwriter all my life... often in a traditional style... with themes from history... I have a songbook of work that has mostly never been heard. History creates layers of reality under our feet.. there are ghosts everywhere.

We've slowly been building up a repertoire that includes traditional folk songs.... these are often beautifully self-contained time capsules... they tell fascinating stories, and have melodies and words that have survived the passage of time. Traditional songs, and the kind of historical backdrops that they evoke, are the inspiration for many of my own songs.
