Eliza Carthy, Lou Rhodes, Sheila Chandra, Vashti Bunyan
  FOLK BRITANNIA | DAUGHTERS OF ALBION
Friday 3 March 2006 9pm-10.30pm; Sunday 5 March 12.05am-1.35am (Saturday night)
 
 

Recorded at the Barbican in early February this special concert brings together some of England's finest female folk artists and contemporary singer-songwriters.

Connected by a strong sense of place, a certain wit and singularity of voice, these Daughters of Albion sing songs of experience, shot through with a deliciously dark seam of melancholy.
