Lady Maisery and Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith - Wakefire: A Summer Album

After several years delighting audiences with their hugely loved wintertime project Awake Arise, the folk supergroup of Lady Maisery (Hannah James, Rowan Rheingans & Hazel Askew) and Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith, have joined their considerable creative forces again, this time to celebrate the summer.

If the first album, Awake Arise, established this group as trusted makers of deep and multi- disciplinary folk, then Wakefire: A Summer Album delves deeper into the possibilities of both an album and live show, weaving song, prose, poetry and musique concrete into a journey for the audience.

At 27 tracks, Wakefire: A Summer Album bucks the emergent trend of ephemeral shorter releases. It's a return to the long form, a double length album, befitting its reverence for the longest days of the year; an invitation to a more immersive and unfolding listening experience
