Interview with Granny's Attic

10/22/2021

0 Comments

 


Sadly I was unable to broadcast a live show this week due to a sore throat but never fear, I was super lucky to get to sit down with the amazing English Folk trio Granny's Attic to chat about their new album The Brickfields. We also touch on the beginings of the band, why English Folk Music is such an inspiration and even have a little natter about #ShantyTok.

Tracks Played from Brickfields:

1. Considerate Birders.
2. Watt's Reel.

Grab a copy of the album here:
