I bet you'll be back, Spleen! Might take a while, but this drug is hard to kick said Backwoodsman, back in March. And he was right (if I'm ever in the Backwoods this probably means I owe you a pint).
I have discovered that it is possible to do a full time job, have a little family and run a record label yet still have time to come on here and bother the good people of Mudcat. So after a bit of guest posting, I'm back. Sorry...
Meanwhile, there follows a brief public information announcement:
If you'd like to hop over to Folk Police Recordings you can read the latest on what we're up to. First two releases are Good Grief, a four track e.p. by Lincolnshire-born Lewes resident Elle Osborne - original songs informed by her grounding in traditional folk; and The Oak, Ash and Thorn Project, a various artists reworking of Peter Bellamy's settings of Kipling's Puck songs with contributions from the Unthanks, Jon Boden, Pamela Wyn Shannon, Trembling Bells, Jackie Oates, Emily Portman, Tim Eriksen, Olivia Chaney, The Owl Service, Cath & Phil Tyler, Elle Osborne, Lisa Knapp, Fay Hield, Charlie Parr, Sam Lee and Rapunzel and Sedayne.
Both are in the shops from 24th January but will be available direct from the website before that...
