red starBRASS MONKEY latest release

tscd567 martin simpson - prodigal sonBrass Monkey "Head of Steam" (tscd575)

The original brass-meets-folk, English powerhouse band returned with a new album for 2009

• "..a swashbuckling selection of tunes and songs performed so invigoratingly......" fRoots

• "The tunes in particular take on a new life, as the brass dominates the guitar and Kirkpatrick's excellent melodeon, but the songs are also wonderful." Acoustic

• "Since the early 80s they have brought the emotional fervour and rhythmic fire of colliery bands to English dance music and traditional songs - their recordings are a delight. Mighty and joyful." redstarredstarredstarredstar Songlines
