Hailing from South Yorkshire, Ghedi's previous work has often been instrumental, exploring the natural world and his relationship to it, as seen on 2018's A Hymn For Ancient Land but also developing into using his voice, songwriting and traditional material on his more recent album, \u003ci\u003eIn The Furrows Of\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eCommon Place\u003c\/i\u003e. Toby Hay, hailing from the Cambrian mountains, professes likewise, that the landscape serves as eternal muse and the spiritual groundwork of his entrancing guitar playing which has dazzled critics and listeners alike throughout his career. All of this makes their collaboration with the world's oldest independent label and custodians of UK folk music, Topic Records, a natural home for this exceptional record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album artwork includes beautiful liner notes by Andrew Male, senior associate editor of Mojo magazine; film, radio and TV writer for Sight and Sound and Sunday Times Culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Topic","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50469525946699,"sku":"2014980","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50469525782859,"sku":"2014979","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Jim_Ghedi__Toby_Hay_7fb6f1dd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727362132","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/jim-ghedi-and-toby-hay","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
