Fernhill - Na Pradle

Recorded by Czech radio at Divadlo na Pr�dle (theatre at the laundry) in Prague, this album presents highlights of a concert which formed part of the band's wider tour of the Czech republic in March 2006, supported by the British Council. The CD evokes the intimate soundscape of Fernhill as trio. Fronted by the wonderfully emotive vocals of Julie Murphy, 'a must see, must hear singer' (Time Out), the line-up also features Ceri Rhys Matthews (guitar and flute), whose playing and creative invention have from the outset underpinned Fernhill's music, and Tomos Williams (trumpet and piano) whose subtle improvisations have contributed hugely to the band's recently evolving sound. This is an album of extraordinary, quiet beauty - rooted in Welsh and English folk song but with a contemporary sensibility which places Fernhill at the cutting edge of acoustic music.
