Interim Promo EP

[read review by Tim Carroll of Folkwords]

These are previews of some of the songs that will be on the next album. We'll be taking our time over the album, but preliminary live-in-the-studio versions of these songs are now available on the EP.

As well as the three tracks that you can hear on the mp3 sampler on the left, the physical EP also features Andy Irvine's Never Tire of the Road, combined with a tune by Helen called Hole in the Knee - exclusively available on the physical EP.
