One of the most unusual collaborations of the past decade, The Imagined Village made a significant impression with their critically acclaimed and commercially successful debut album (released via Peter Gabriel's Real World label). They toured extensively, appeared on TV's Later...With Jools show and won out at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. If the band had initially developed as a loose collective of singers and musicians, they have subsequently consolidated into a working, growing, organic aggregation. This stability in personnel is shiningly reflected in the brand new, follow-up album, which is also their first on the new record label ECC. Titled "Empire and Love", it is released on 11 January 2010, a few days prior to a major UK tour that will include prestigious gigs at Scotland's Celtic Connections Festival and London's Queen Elizabeth Hall.

The music on Empire and Love is played by the 'Parish Council' of Martin Carthy, Eliza Carthy, Chris Wood, Simon Emmerson, Barney Morse Brown, Sheema Mukerjhee, Johnny Kalsi, Andy Gangadeen, Ali Friend and Simon Palmskin Richmond.

That is because it is the same song. Mrs McGrath is the Irish version of My Son John.

Folk music at its brilliant best. The old stories of human stupidity shown to be shockingly contemporary.

Just goes to show that true folk music is never far from the modern world.... amazing work from all involved.... depressing nothing has really changed in 200 yrs though! Cruel Brittania is still sending our young men and women of to fight while the chickenhawks stay at home....

For to long English folk music has suffered at the expense of that of our Celtic cousins, nice to see our music on the ascent, and as the bastard race we are , it's so wonderful to see the incorporation into our music , the influence of the latest group of incomers, my particular coming bunch over from France about 400 years ago......hand me that Hurdy Gurdy Ethel !!!

Wow, I am amazed that 'parties' like the BNP still exist. Doesn't this group show that such things are so irrelevant these days it's laughable? I mean, imagine someone running about crying about the ether. Surely they deserve a similar reaction?

Haunting is exactly the right word for this. A remarkable update, as only Martin could do.
