From her first recording June Tabor demonstrated a mature command of traditional and contemporary songs alike, singing them, often unaccompanied, with remarkable individuality and expressiveness. The emotions and meanings she uncovers in the old songs give them a new resonance that has caught the imagination of audiences far beyond the folk scene. • "Tabor is as fine a vocalist as Britain has produced. Supremely talented and blessed with a dazzling voice." Financial Times • "Tabor has been a folk legend for four decades. You leave her concerts enriched – they don’t do it better than this" Independent • BBC Folk Singer Of The Year awarded
to June Tabor BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards

TSCD568 "Apples" • "Tabor sings magnificently on her return to an album of predominantly folk song. Her true brilliance is exacting seismic levels of emotion from seemingly basic material." fRoots • "The defining voice of English traditional music for nigh
on forty years, June Tabor is a benchmark for quality. Her spellbinding
vocals, crystal clear, strong and true, and unerring ear for the best
in both traditional and contemporary songs remain supreme. Apples is
a stunning record, a brilliant example of Tabor's artistry." |
