Martin Carthy and John Kirkpatrick are the mainstay of BRASS MONKEY, along with Paul Archibald, Martin Brinsford and Roger Williams. Described as THE English folk band, they are the original folk supergroup and carry on where others have long left the field alone. Plenty of jigs, hormpipes, and reels with Carthy's great voice.

What more can you say about RT? The greatest guitarist I've ever seen for a start, not to mention a fine purveyor of modern songs of life, love, and some doom and gloom. This was his last 'proper' album before launching on the 1000 Years of Popular Song project.
