    We have adored making this album. Adored our girls being around so much. The 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic has been a very emotional time for everyone, swinging from one extreme to another. In fact at times I have likened it to ‘riding a speeding shark whilst wearing a bikini’! But, we have found solace in our studio, as a little family, working on new versions of our favourite songs.

    As folk singers/musicians, it’s what we do, reinterpret existing songs, but usually the songs are much, much older. After playing a version of Oasis’ ‘Don’t Go Away’ on the BBC Radio 2 Jo Whiley Show, about 5 years ago, it dawned on me that not just the very old songs are handed down through
    the generations, but also favourite songs of any age, of any generation.
