Although these songs inhabited me, I realised I'd never inhabited them and I took the chance to explore, eventually settling on ten songs, and the idea of recording an album started to form in my mind. I loved what Harbottle \u0026amp; Jonas and I did together so much that we decided to continue work on it in collaboration.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarbottle \u0026amp; Jonas, husband and wife duo David and Freya, are \"one of the finest folk duos in the country\" according to Folking.com. Matching Reg's talent for conveying the true meaning behind a song in his delivery, with David and Freya's exceptional arrangement and accompaniment skills, Songs of Love \u0026amp; Death tackles some of the most enduring songs from the English tradition, beautifully recorded by Josh Best-Shaw in a 15th Century church that sits on the edge of Dartmoor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsongs","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50459401847115,"sku":"1135502","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/22011b85-3dfa-4f80-8a12-7abbffef3866_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727221557","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/songs-of-love-death","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
