Acclaimed duo release ive-track EP


RECORDED May 2014 in the Shetland Islands, Mareel EP is a new five- track recording from acclaimed songwriter- guitarist Kris Drever and banjo and tenor guitarist Éamonn Coyne. Born in Orkney Kris


Drever moved to Shet- land early in 2014. Taking its title from the


local Shetland cinema and arts centre where the music was recorded with a cast of local musicians, Mareel EP features a new version of Drever’s song Wintermoon about which Kris Drever says “I had worked a new version up a couple of years ago for a BBC performance in Orkney so I already had


the alternative feel in my mind. With the big group of Shetland musicians available to me it seemed like now was a good time to get that version down. I had always wanted to hear Wintermoon in three-part harmony. It feels different enough to me from the Lau version to be heard without con- juring up the original.” Éamonn Coyne says “When I heard Kris sing Wintermoon with the two harmony vocals it made me think of the changes in the season and con- jured up a sentiment that feels typical of Kris”. Kris Drever & Éamonn Coyne are at Bristol Folk House on September 19.
