I'm just listening to this new album and it is quite remarkable!
This is not an album from the Elizabethan era but music inspired by it!
A must have!
Promotion blurb:
The Elizabethan Session is a new 14 track album which showcases the results of the multi-artist commission from Folk by the Oak and the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) that was inspired by the Elizabethan era and which took place in March 2014.
Featuring the cream of the contemporary folk world, including Martin Simpson, Nancy Kerr, Jim Moray, Bella Hardy, John Smith, Emily Askew, Hannah James and Rachel Newton in a week-long residency, songs were premiered at live show at Hatfield House, childhood home of Queen Elizabeth, and Cecil Sharp. The group also appeared at the Folk by the Oak festival that takes place in the field featuring the very oak tree where legend claims the young Princess Elizabeth learnt of her ascent to the throne.
