  • Description

    Recently awarded Best Original Track at the RT� Radio 1 Folk Awards (along with a record breaking five nominations, to go with this year's four BBC Folk Award nods) Lisa O'Neill follows her acclaimed album Heard a Long Gone Song with a new EP - 'The Wren, The Wren' released on Rough Trade's traditional music imprint River Lea.

    "The three songs on this EP are woven together by a mixture of memory and myth. Facts often get lost in folklore which is maybe what gives way to artistic license to rewrite stories and bring them up to date� 'The Wren, The Wren' goes so far back that we don't know where or how it originated. It is a bird steeped in myth, folklore and tradition and through the ages has been revered as a symbol of fertility in many cultures, or as in this song, sacrificed even though it is the 'King of the Birds'."
