Darwin Song Project Concert

Shrewsbury, March 19th 2009

Clock of the World

written by Krista Detor

performed by Krista Detor, Karine Polwart, Emily Smith, Rachael McShane

In March 2009 eight folk singer/songwriters gathered together for a week long songwriting residential in rural Shropshire to create songs that had a relevance and resonance with Charles Darwin.

The eight artists were Chris Wood, Karine Polwart, Stu Hanna, Rachael McShane, Krista Detor, Emily Smith, Mark Erelli and Jez Lowe.

The whole concert was recorded for an upcoming CD release (July 2009), and the 8 musicians will reconvene at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival in August, to once again perform the 19 songs that were written during the week.

I discovered this song a few days ago, as I was coming back from a business trip. I was alone in my car driving back from the airport, some random radio was playing, and this aired. And I have every bit as thankful to those girls as I do now...

Mike Harding mentioned this project and played Karine Polwart's "We're All Leaving" on his Show on 12th August, so I wanted to learn more. I was delighted to find this wonderful song, with words and vocal harmonies that brought tears to my eyes, so "Well Done" to everyone involved.

This entire project has been a revelation. The great man and his legacy have never been more important, and this album has done both an immeasurable service. Genuinely, this is one of my favourite records in years. The mix of contributors is perfect and the musicianship, artistry, insight, humanity and intelligence on display simply makes the hairs on my neck stand up.
