Description
Heroes is the highly anticipated fourth studio album from popular folk favourites, Banter. Loved for their bold and innovative approach to traditional music, Banter pay tribute to their personal and musical heroes with this remarkable new album.
Heroes showcases Banter's impressive ability to not only rework traditional and contemporary material, but also compose original songs like thought-provoking sea tale Picking a Ship. The band's version of Lay Me Low by War Horse composer, John Tams has already been described by folk legend Martin Simpson as "Better than the original". Similarly, Banter has breathed new life to Pete Coe's classic, Rolling Down The Ryburn and JUNO Award Winning songwriter, David Francey's "Torn Screen Door".
After recently sharing a stage with them, Ralph McTell described Banter as, "Absolutely fantastic! Beautiful harmonies". The other tracks on the album are a similarly engaging collection of both traditional and original songs and tunes that showcase the compositional talents of Banter's creative powerhouse, keyboard player and singer, Nina Zella. Many have compared her voice to that of Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac including BBC Radio 2's Mark Radcliffe.
