Inspired by Martyn Bennett, music composed by him and also Fraser Fifield and arranged for playing by Mr McFall's Chamber with added extras.
Let's be fair, this is not your bog standard string quartet. In fact at times it would make Frank Zappa proud!
An added rhythm section AND an added Fraser Fifield and Martyn's music push this into a realm of music not yet touched upon by our normally folky friends.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
