The Ceremony of May
The Story of Jack in the Green in Words and Music
Extra Classy Bits by Edd Blakeley

RICHARD DIGANCE (FOLK DEVON) " A must buy purchase for anyone interested in the folk-rock genre!"

ALAN TITCHMARSH (BBC Radio 2) " This will set the blood coursing through your veins "

CHRIS LESLIE (Fairport Convention) ' The Ceremony Of May is a lovely celebration of English roots'

BRIAN McNEILL (Feast of Fiddles - Ex Battlefield Band - June 2010) ' Riveting. As potent a mixture of music and words as I've heard in a long time - a beautifully modulated voice added to the artistry of one of the best fiddlers and fiddle composers in the country. On the first hearing I felt as though I'd tapped into something ageless, by the third I felt I'd known the tunes and the poems all my days.'

PETER KNIGHT (Steeleye Span) 'Garry is a good friend, a wonderful fiddle player and a lovely singer. He has used his gifts to great effect on this album, and it is a credit both to him and to Rosie. I am sure that they feel justifiably proud of their work on The Ceremony of May.'
