No, I have no connection with Nick Hart at all. You must be looking at the wrong LinkedIn page because I'm not a music project manager. I'm sure I'm not the only Matthew Milton on LinkediN. I'm an online content and communications professional who specialises in architecture and the built environment.

I just happen to think Hart's two albums thus far are fantastic examples of the one-man-and-his-guitar Martin Carthy tradition. And everything I've heard from his new one suggests it expands on that, using an array of different of instruments while still sticking to economical/minimal principles of arrangement. It reminds me of how a Moroccan musician might accompany themselves on the Krar, or how the Sabri brothers would accompany themselves on the Indian harmonium; it's not typically how English folk musicians since the Revival have tended to structure their arrangements.
