The Albion Band, March 2012

2011 sees folk legend Ashley Hutchings’ torch being passed to a newer generation of English folk talent. As ever, this band brings together some of the finest young musicians and singers in the UK folk scene including Ashley’s son, Blair Dunlop with Gavin Davenport, Katriona Gilmore, Tom Wright and Tim Yates.

This new line-up recaptures the spirit of the Albion Band’s heyday with a rockier, edgier approach to traditional material English folk music.

The band will perform self-penned, re-written and traditional material as well as re-booted Albion Band classics, in what promises to be a diverse and energetic live set.
