Info for Nick Hart Sings Ten English Folk Songs

Nick Hart is an award-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist whose work with English folk song is rapidly gaining him a reputation as one of the most acclaimed performers of his generation. His considered approach to accompaniment is informed by a deep respect for the nuances of traditional song and his captivating live performances are a testament to the importance he places on story-telling.

Recorded during the first lockdown of 2020, Nick Hart Sings Ten English Folk Songs is in many ways a departure from the stripped back, live approach of Nick’s first two albums. Deprived of a sound engineer and locked away in a house full of strange instruments, he was afforded the time and space to explore different approaches to the accompaniment of traditional song.

"Ten English Folk Songs is another excellent set from Nick Hart. The original and exciting arrangements and instrumentations are delicate and balanced. Taken together with Nick’s distinctive voice, he has carried these folk songs on into the current time, giving them new life and extending their long history." (Richard Hollingum, folkradio.co.uk)
