Curlicue released in 2015
"Freya Rae & Louis Bingham’s Curlicue certainly lives up to its title: its musical twists and turns reflect the decorative curls and swirls often seen in calligraphy and architecture, enhanced by a multi-tracked depth that demands focused attention. This exhaustingly foot-tapping, head-nodding collection of captivating tunes is a magnificent debut that rewards the listener enormously on repeated plays"
Roy Spencer, Folk Radio UK
Birlinn Jiarg - Seamount released in 2016
"Seamount, the debut album from instrumental quartet Birlinn Jiarg is a slow burner that gradually grows into an uninhibited love-song to Manx music. Featuring both traditional Manx tunes and originals by the founder of the group Beccy Hurst, Seamount is a deft mix of the old and the new, delivering something fresh without losing sight of the heritage that forms its foundations."
James Mottram - Bright Young Folk
Listen and buy Seamount on Bandcamp - Seamount | Birlinn Jiarg (bandcamp.com)
Simo Lagnawi - The Gnawa Berber released 2014
Seamlessly infusing his Berber origins with deep gnawa grooves, Simo Lagnawi's trance-inducing music is an unstoppable expression of freedom and liberation.
