"There is a sense with these recordings that the songs are all important, the production, playing and singing serves to glorify the song rather than flatter the participants. It could be dour and worthy but it isn't. This is an engaging and charming piece of work"

"Laura Smyth and Ted Kemp's previous recording (the five-song "The Charcoal Black And The Bonny Grey" EP) alerted the English folk scene to its new favourite duo. While both are very fine musicians (Laura plays cello and concertina, Ted banjo and guitar), their instruments are deployed effectively but sparingly, and often not at all. What we're mainly dealing with then is the singers and the songs - all but one of which are traditional. The exception, Laura's "Alizon Device", is a fantastic piece about the 1612 Pendle witch trials which is sure to find favour with many singers. They're not averse to a bit of blood and thunder either ... Older readers will doubtless be familiar with "Folk Songs Of Old England" - the 1968 Tim Hart and Maddy Prior album that attained the status of a folk singer's manual for a whole generation of club singers. The current crop should just start with this one"
