Description
Critically acclaimed UK folk supergroup A Winter Union return this December with their 3rd studio album.
Despite only convening for one tour each Yuletide for the past decade, A Winter Union has seldom felt like "a project", but very much a band in their own right... Through The Western Door confirms this beyond doubt - a record imbued with cohesive energy and festive magic. The writing from five songwriters segues seamlessly, their vocals blend with natural ease, and their performances bristle with life and an infectious joy of 5 close friends reunited.
Recorded in a converted chapel at the foot of the megalithic stones of Stanton Moor, Derbyshire it's a record that embraces the history and traditions of the Christmas season... There's an acknowledgement of the timeless sentiment of mankind wanting to gather and celebrate at this time of year; but it's one without inhibition or over-reverence - the promise of light and love is never far away.
The band's last album "Sooner After Solstice" drew praise from across the music industry. Songlines declared it "The only Christmas album you'll ever need", whilst BBC Radio 3 InTune described them as "Just fantastic!". Radio play from Mark Radcliffe's BBC Radio 2 folk show followed, and Folk On Foot's Matthew Bannister declared them "a festive folk supergroup".
