Songs Of Separation

'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.
