DAVID CARROLL AND FRIENDS
Friend of Fairport and Gryphon gathers pals for more trad-folk fun.
Bold Reynold Too TALKING ELEPHANT
While some exponents of traditional folk music focus on the most harrowing stories found in songbooks of yore, David Carroll has a penchant for the more carefree and alcohol-influenced strands of British and Irish roots music. He’s clearly having enough fun to persuade acclaimed folk musicians to join him, including Fairport Convention’s Chris Leslie and Dave Pegg plus Gryphon’s Dave Oberlé, Graeme Taylor and Brian Gulland – all of whom have stuck around to make a sequel to last year’s LP Bold Reynold.
