The featured album was SHEFFIELD PARK by GEORGE SANSOME & MATT QUINN (Grimdon Records). This is a delightful
album of traditional folk songs, presented expressively, not encumbered by any unnecessarily 'clever' accompaniment and almost all with a gentle
warmth, the vocals supported by excellent guitar and mandolin. Two fine musicians and eleven fine songs.
