CD Description
The long awaited second album from extraordinary folk trio Uiscedwr is finally here. CIRCLE contains 12 delicious new tracks: funked-up folk tunes, heart wrenching songs, this is one CD we dare you not to love. After the success of debut album ‘Everywhere’ (YRCD01) which culminated in a cover of fRoots magazine and a BBC Folk Award nomination, the band’s leading lady Anna Esslemont was struck down by a major illness making it impossible to work. Esslemont is now back, stronger than ever, and with a PRS Foundation award for her music writing under her belt the new self-penned tracks are nothing short of explosive. New addition Kevin Dempsey (Whippersnapper, Swarb’s Lazarus) has added a dynamic third dimension to the fiddle/bodhran jousting of Byrne and Esslemont. Dark and delicate solo’s showcase his skill in "Ceol Aine" and Uiscedwr introduce his voice in "The Music Bringer", one of 4 varied songs on the album. In "Tree" Cormac Byrne (Seth Lakeman Band) demonstrates his unrivalled percussive talents with a multi-tracked extravaganza guaranteed to get you dancing. Uiscedwr (meaning ‘water’ in Irish then Welsh) have delivered an album dripping in Celtic fervour and instrumental virtuosity. It demands your attention.
