| "Dear Ros & Si I finally have had a chance to listen to you in peace, after buying a CD from Ros in Bideford last week. Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying it. Your gentle interpretation of 'The Foggy Dew' seems to fit both of you like a (velvet) glove and 'Jennys Mermaid' and 'Digging to Australia' are very clever and powerful songs; they would 'cut the heart out of a stone' as my Irish friend would say... definitely my CD of the moment."

'England
Needs Her Hedgerows' is an album displaying the full versatility of
Simon and Rosalind’s song-writing, interpretation, singing and
musicianship and contains many interesting pieces. There are tall tales
and Broadside Ballads, humour and protest, slow-burners and
roof-raisers, myth and legend. We have Rosalind singing in a wood in
Dartington early one April morning to the bubbling song of a Blackcap.
Another song is prefixed by it’s inspiration: an interview with older
residents of the village reminiscing about the defunct cider industry.
Also featured is a song Rosalind wrote with well-known local Jack
Connabeer telling the story of why his small farm was forced to close
down. The album includes contributions from two well-known folk
luminaries some wonderful fiddle and mandolin work from Phil Beer and
the masterful melodeon of Pete Coe. The cover is a photo of Dartington
Village Hall. | |||
