Debut album from a band many of you will recognise from our award winning compilation "John Barleycorn Reborn". Tinkerscuss are an English folk duo comprised of sisters Bryony and Erin Holden. "Nine Trees" features an enchanting combination of rich vocals (sung in English, Gaelic and Cornish), acoustic guitar, mandola, harp, shruti box, accordion, violin and viola. Weaving a musical path to the twilight world of dreams. "There’s a growing force in folk that’s steadily developed in the South-West. That force is Tinkerscuss... Each song fits into the whole as the trees fit the forest and the grass the meadow. This is fey folk with fire... “Nine Trees” stays with you from the first hearing. It sheds a pale light on the far dark side of mystical while exploring the wild reaches of nature’s cyclic death and resurgence." (Folkwords).
