She began singing professionally in 1964, and came to wide notice in 1972 with her cult classic record \u003ci\u003eLovely on the Water \u003c\/i\u003e(Topic Records). She has gone on to work with historic and contemporary legends alike - including Anne Briggs, Dave Van Ronk, Peggy Seeger, Leon Rosselson, Alistair Roberts, Stick in the Wheel and Lankum. Frankie's long and impressive career was recently marked with the Gold Badge Award from the English Folk Dance and Song Society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrankie now releases her twelfth record \u003ci\u003eCats of Coven Lawn\u003c\/i\u003e to mark her 80th Birthday. The album was recorded over a couple of weekends in Brighton with critically acclaimed producer Tom Pryor, and consists of mainly live takes with minimal over-dubs - creating a warm lofi, almost Anti-Folk aesthetic. This is a brave record sonically - traditional on one track, then verging towards Outsider Art on the next. It's bare-boned with eerie harmonies, raw unapologetic vocals, minimal instrumentation, and at times startling a capella performances. The song selection is daring and incredibly varied - traditional songs (Lizzy Wan, Willow Song), songs written by her friends (Dead Funny, Marcy's Guest House), and songs that demonstrate Frankie's longstanding commitment to social and political issues (Where I Live on the Map, Song of Strength, We Are Women, Bread and Roses). This album strives to represent the many intriguing facets of one of the UK's most important folk singers. Frankie is joined by her friends throughout the record, lending vocals, writing and instrumentation. Guest performances come from Martin Simpson, Bird in the Belly, Brian Pearson, and Bread and Roses. The warm lofi aesthetic, combined with the group performances from Frankie's friends creates an intimate, charming album - an album akin to sitting around the dinner table with Frankie and her friends and reliving her memories through song. An incredibly personal album - at times, sad, funny, odd, eerie, joyful, but always authentic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GF*M Records \/ Pirate Jenny Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50501819236683,"sku":"1107442","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1856ca51-be3a-4aa7-b769-a5c0fc3615b8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727786897"},{"product_id":"dreamcreatures","title":"Dreamcreatures","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo one sounds quite like Jinnwoo. When the Leicester-born artist (aka Ben Webb) first debuted his curious and spellbindingly beautiful music via his debut\u003ci\u003e Your Baby\u003c\/i\u003e EP in 2016 (Cargo Records), the late Andy Gill of The Independent succinctly described him as “a singular folk talent,” with his debut album, 2016’s \u003ci\u003eStrangers Bring Me No Light\u003c\/i\u003e (Cargo Records\/GF*M Records), being equally as critically-acclaimed. Jinnwoo now returns with his follow-up album dreamcreatures. set for release on 3rd September following his signing by Brit and Mercury winning producer Charlie Andrew (Alt J, London Grammar) to his label Square Leg Records, with Charlie also mixing the album. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharlie Andrew describes the record as “a beautiful body of work” and says of the signing “When Jinnwoo reached out and showed me his new album I was instantly smitten. His incredibly unique voice sucked me in straight away and before long I was on a journey through some of the most gorgeous and curious songs I'd heard for a very long time.” \u003ci\u003eDreamcreatures\u003c\/i\u003e. was written within the two months of the release of his debut album in 2016. It captures that point in life where one realises they are no younger young and explores what Jinnwoo describes as: “A weird mix of nostalgia, regret and looming responsibility. It’s a lot about old relationships, in particular the relationships that can exist between men; friendship, brotherhood, love, jealousy and sex.” D\u003ci\u003ereamcreatures\u003c\/i\u003e is a most beautiful return for Jinnwoo. Capturing a bittersweet moment in time that wraps us all in painful nostalgia, where doubt, regret and anxiety rear their ugly heads but our world-weary experiences make us more able to process such emotions., albeit with a newfound cynicism and sadness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GF*M Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50504965128523,"sku":"1128545","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e24e0952-0946-4ced-be20-5d5377fe649a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727811904"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/gf-m-records-pirate-jenny-records.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
