ON THE HUMBER BANKS – Kirsty Hannah
Four folk songs from Lincolnshire
The 4 tracks were recorded at smallCogMUSIC by Darryl Ebbatson under the watchful eyes (and ears) of Bob Cuthbertson (of Carillion) and are Kirsty’s interpretation of classic folk songs.
Bob plays guitar on ‘Early On Spring’ and Harmonium on Betsy Walton, along with a Hurdy Gurdy orchestra courtesy of Jerry Oakes.
Sleeve notes written by Kirsty help explain her choice of these songs.
The beautifully presented EP features photography around the Humber taken by Dean Wilkinson
Listen out for authentic River Humber waves on Betsy and the birds in Kirsty’s garden along with the bell of her little friend Runa!
A bonus instrumental version of Betsy is included for fans of dark, mysterious Hurdy Gurdy / Harmonium interplay!
