Those paying attention might know Sam Grassie from his TSMM approved Avocet project, & their track for the Future Folk compilation. Although Avocet appears no more, Grassie's been busy paying his dues on the folk circuit & collaborating on various projects. This EP is a first outing for his classic folk rooted solo material & you can't help thinking it's just a matter of time before his consummate guitar work & warm, reassuring vocal tones find a wider audience.

I first heard Katie Spencer on YouTube when she was featured on the For Bert Jansch playlist. Katie played her own song called Shannon Road. The lead break that she plays twice really got my attention. I became a fan instantly. Every track on this album is lovely. The whole listening experience is like a favourite film running through my head. I'm so glad that in my twilight years I discovered Katie. I wish her a long and succesful career in music.

A treasure trove of musical gems of rare beauty. This record manages to make me feel the breeze even in this scorching summer. Magical ! Really hard to find a favorite song with such a high level of composition and arrangement, might as well roll the dice
