Andy Seward, David Ferrard & Kellie While

Folk songs, traditional or contemporary are a wormΓΓé¼Γäós eye view of the world. They are the expression of ordinary peopleΓΓé¼Γäós reaction to the world about them. They have always been songs that entertain and/or spread ΓΓé¼╦£the newsΓΓé¼Γäó. Crucially, they circulate unhindered by the formulaic demands of a commercial market. Their strength lies in their being outside the mainstream - from being 'Below The Radar'

Reviews
i) '....an album so impeccable, it must surely merit consideration as the best thing he's ever done' (Colin Irwin, fRoots June 2009);

ii) '...one of the strongest albums of his long and illustrious career' (Mike Newman, Taplas June 2009);

iii)'...accompanied by ... John Kirkpatrick, Martin Simpson, Andy Cutting, Kellie While and adding Base, Andy Seward... The quality of these musical friends is testament to the respect that Roy commands from his fellow professionals and as listeners we should also thank him for bringing these fine songs to our attention' (Steve Henderson, Folk North West June 2009)

iv) 'Still angry after all these years. For someone in his 74th year who announced his farewell to recording with the Coda album eight years ago, Roy Bailey displays startling vigour as he flies the flag for music of social commentaryΓΓ鼪ΓΓ鼪ΓΓé¼Γäó (4 stars! MOJO August 2009)
