Description
BBC R2 Horizon Award nominees Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts release a daring second album featuring their trademark harmonies, fiery fiddle and astounding lap-tapping guitar.

Exciting young folk duo Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts release a daring second album 'Up From The Deep', featuring their trademark harmonies, fiery fiddle and astounding lap-tapping guitar. The BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award 2010 nominees follow up their début CD 'Shadows & Half Light' with a major creative leap forward. Self-produced, mixed by Andy Bell and mastered by Megson's Stu Hanna,' Up From The Deep' is fresh and innovative yet deeply rooted in tradition.

"You can definitely hear our individual influences coming out more than on our previous album" says Katriona. "I've been listening to more American music, mostly bluegrass, and since Jamie joined Kerfuffle he's really got stuck into the English tradition." The contributions of PJ Wright (of Little Johnny England) on pedal steel and Cia Cherryholmes (of Grammy-nominated Nashville band Cherryholmes) on banjo deftly enhance the Americana feel. "These two ends of the spectrum, the English tradition and the bluegrass, blend surprisingly well – Nothing At All, a traditional song collected in Dorset, sounds like it could have been written for PJ's pedal steel!"

"There's a lot of traditional influence in our own songs, in the choice of subjects. This album is really about solidifying our style - many people have said we make a much bigger sound than you'd expect from two people." Indeed they do and, with Up From The Deep, they are about to make an even bigger impression on both fans and the media too.
