Month: December 2020

The UK folk scene is all the richer for incredible artists like Rachael Dadd. Her contribution to the excellent Memphis Industries ‘Lost Christmas’ compilation (named after a series of Christmas shows that this year is indeed ‘lost’ due to Covid-19 restrictions) is an homage to dear friends in tough times .Joining her are Kate Stables (This is The Kit) and Rozi Plain (amongst many others) – but I’ve been listening to the magic this trio weave for years and with their help, Rachael has created a wonderful alternative festive tune. As well, some wonderful new sounds from Brazil plus funky folk and quite a bit of Lap Steel (Ambient Country anyone?)
