ABOUT HUNT THE HARE ~ A BRANCH of MAY:

A collection of songs inspired by the month of May including both traditional and original material.  The title track Hunt The Hare, a 2-part piece produced by Gerry Diver, features fine singer and songwriter Alasdair Roberts on vocal and guitar duties with Bellowhead's Pete Flood adding percussion. 

The opening track A May Garland a traditional May song from Northampton, conjures the atmosphere of an English summer with compelling subtlety whilst magically retaining an air of menace.  

Track 4 The Pleasant Month of May, again a traditional song most notably from the Copper family repertoire is here set in driving, contemporary style yet remains true to the original http://soundcloud.com/lisa-knapp/4-the-pleasant-month-of-may.    

Track 5 Jack In The Green is an exploration into a locally revived tradition, that of the Deptford Jack In The Green, where Lisa has explored excerpts of interviews from print to make a song describing a Jack In The Green from a bygone era, an evocotive piece set to shruti drone and hammered dulcimer.

Produced in association with
