FOLK: Modern Folk, EASY LISTENING: Soft Rock



Details:
Easy listening straightforward songs, with some very unusual old instruments and finished with female vocals This is what Eden are about.
Three Cornish born musicians, Chris Payne his cousin Janna on vocals and guitarist Andy Brodie with lyric writer Tim Vince from London form the core of this group.
The style of this record varies from the soft rock gendre of songs like 'Ignore the living' world to the anthemic Celtic style 'Solomon Brown', a tribute to the crew of a lifeboat that perished trying to save the lives of others in a terrible storm off the Cornish coast, to the frantic reel 'The Bodmin Horse'. Songs of persecution, 'Ishmael' and the more traditional folk style of 'Song from the sea'
Music from this part of the world is starting to create a lot of interest, and Eden have included a song 'Armoriow' composed by Richard Gendal in the Cornish language which is starting to see a big revival. This language is a Brythonic Celtic language that is very similar to Breton and Welsh.
Some of the more unusual instruments that feature on 'Tide include, crumhorns, cornamuse and the Breton Bombarde which sounds a little like a bagpipe.
Tide has been produced by Nigel Bates, producer of Paul Carrack,Steve Winwood, Mike and the Mechanics, amongst others.
