I am privileged and excited to have one of my songs included in a major new release exploring the folk music of Dark Britannica.

"John Barleycorn Reborn" is a 2CD set plus free downloadable third part featuring British artists inspired by our ancient folklore and traditions, but whose work has, until now, fallen below the radar of mainstream media. It is anticipated that this release on the Cold Spring label will receive widespread high profile reviews and radio airplay, and this will be backed up with excellent distribution to make the album as widely available as possible.

"John Barleycorn" is one of the oldest known British folk songs and a beautiful booklet in the CD package explains its history and how it sets the tone for this collection of songs, lovingly curated by Mark Coyle of specialist digital retailer Woven Wheat Whispers.

My song "The Scryer and the Shewstone" is one of four sample tracks now playing on the John Barleycorn Reborn myspace music player - click the image in the Top Friends here on my page to go there.

Thanks for your interest, and please help to spread the news of this release.
