This album is the culmination of 4 years of hard work, and a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Urgent and hopeful, these tracks come from our hearts, and lay bare the frustration, joy, anger, sadness and love we have experienced.
With 7 originals, and 4 re-arranged traditionals with our Barretts spin, bagpipes, blazing guitars, banjo, fiddle and a multitude of voices, this album will pull you on to the dance floor!
