"Recorded live at London's Cecil Sharp House in 2011, this is not so much a (double) album as an illuminating documentary/vibrant living history/emotional ballad opera geared not only to Northumbrian music and culture but, perhaps more significantly, the colourful local heroes who have sustained it as a vibrant part of the community and landscape ... [These] great characters (...) are championed and honoured in a deeply affecting way as their tunes and stories are replayed by an outstanding band ... An album honed, created and carved out of pure Northumbria - and Kathryn Tickell's heart".
