Child Ballads

Child Ballads is a deceptively wispy collection of old English and Scottish folk songs, a collaboration sprouted a few years ago when Mitchell and Hamer discovered their shared fascination with the British folk canon established by a Harvard professor in the late 1800s.

Mitchell and Hamer make their mark on these songs with delicate aplomb.

Mitchell and Hamer deliver some famous Child ballads straight up, with a transatlantic twist, writes <strong>Neil Spencer</strong>
