Gren Bartley & Tom Kitching - Record Lovelies - Folk Music

From The Album "Rushes" by Gren Bartley and Tom Kitching


Tom Kitching and Gren Bartley are one of the brightest young acts on the folk scene today. Playing music from a remarkably broad range of sources, their album 'Rushes' crosses genres with a healthy disdain for arbitrary pigeon-holing of styles and traditions. Some songs just need to be sung.
