      Jimmy Cannon - vocal, tenor sax
      Matt Johns - piano / keyboard
      James Macphail - bass
      Keith Michael - drums

      Drawing on their extensive and rich experience in performing jazz, classical, folk, pop and world music, these fantastic musicians that make up the group Burton Bradstock are bringing all these elements to brand new settings of English folk songs with subtlety and integrity.

      Songs such as: John Barleycorn; Waly (The Water is Wide); Sally In Our Alley; Salisbury Plain &
      Early One Morning, among others.

      “What all these tunes share is a common pedigree – they are the songs that have survived over years of use and misuse, interpretation and manipulation – and the best survive, to be re-imagined and enjoyed by generations to come!

      “A contemporary jazz/folk project of real note” —The Musician
      “A uniquely British take on jazz.” —Stuart Bailey, Proper Music Distribution
