I know quality of singers is highly subjective, but I agree with Nick - in fact, fwiw and at the risk of hyperbole, I consider Radie to be one of the finest folk singers that Britain and Ireland have produced in the last 50 years.

A big claim, I know (!) - but having heard similar, glowing superlatives from no less an authority than Shirley Collins herself, it's one that doesn't feel too outlandish to make…

I also personally find the complex sound-world that they establish - conjuring almost black-metal psychic heaviosity from harmonium, fiddle and the like - to be an equally potent facet of their work.
