Debut album by some of the finest British folk musicians working today centres around the theme of 'separation.' Featuring Eliza Carthy, Karine Polwart, Mary Macmaster, Kate Young, Hannah James, Hazel Askew and Rowan Rheingans (Lady Maisery), Jenn Butterworth, Hannah Read and Jenny Hill. Featuring Eliza Carthy, Karine Polwart, Mary Macmaster, Kate Young, Hannah James, Hazel Askew and Rowan Rheingans (Lady Maisery), Jenn Butterworth, Hannah Read and Jenny Hill. 'Songs of Separation' brought together ten female folk musicians from Scotland and England, to create a recording which reflects on the issue of 'separation' in its many forms, through traditional song. The SoS musician team features the musical skills and "big thinking" of Eliza Carthy and Karine Polwart, two of the UK's most celebrated folk voices, Mary Macmaster and Kate Young, two boundary-breaking Scots, Hannah James, Hazel Askew and Rowan Rheingans, from the award winning English ensemble Lady Maisery, Jenn Butterworth and Jenny Hill, brilliant backline players who have worked in both English and Scottish trad scenes, and Hannah Read, a New York-based musician who spent much of her childhood on the Isle of Eigg. Taking place on the beautiful Isle of Eigg in the Scottish Inner Hebrides in June 2015, the musicians spent an intensive week rehearsing and recording, including site recordings at the two sites central to the 'Big Women of Eigg' legend.
