NEW FROM PROPER MUSIC LISA O’NEILL
HEARD A LONG GONE SONG RIVER LEA
Heard A Long Gone Song is Lisa’s first album for Rough Trade imprint River Lea and is a collection of traditional material interspersed with her own. The sense of ownership Lisa imbues in these old songs, coupled with the immutability of her chosen subjects makes it hard to tell which is which. These are folk songs in the original sense of the word. Guardian folk album of the year 2018.

BRIGHDE CHAIMBEUL
THE REELING RIVER LEA
Her name is pronounced Bree-CHU (as in “church”) Campbell. Some of these tunes she has known since she was little and some are new to her, previously unrecorded and sourced from collections of old manuscripts and archive recordings. Inspired by the deep-rooted connection between piping, Gaelic song and canntaireachd, and the global connections of piping and the folk who sing and play to tell stories. Recorded live without overdubs in the historic East Church in Cromarty, on the Black Isle.
