  • Description

    Hard Times is the fifth studio album from English folk favourites, Banter. The four piece lineup of Nina Zella (Keys & Vocals), Simon Care (Melodeons & Concertina), Tim Walker (Drums, Percussion, Vocals, Brass and Guitar) and Mark Jolley (Bass Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Fiddle and Vocals) has cemented itself as a firm favourite at festivals around the UK and Europe with rich vocal harmonies, flamboyant musicianship, ever-changing instrumentation and a deep root in English traditional music. Drawing on more songs from the British traditional repertoire with their trademark Banter twist, plus songs and rip roaring tunes from places beyond the UK that have influenced English tradition, Hard Times has been hailed as "another five star masterpiece from an outstanding group of musicians" (Icarus Music Reviews).
