Time ticking down for fab folk concert
While not a parable of their personal lives, it is a reflective, powerful and moving collection of tales of love and loss.
Some songs are traditional and delivered in a way that maintains the dignity of the originals; some are original with very modern arrangements; some are covers; all are vibrant, immediate and have an edgy feel.

Hide AdThe pair didn’t set out to create an album with love and loss as a theme, but in the thick of it all, when they just sat back and let out what came naturally, that’s what they got.
Miranda and Rex are as dazzling as ever on their respective instruments – double bass and mandolin/bouzouki.
The duo has kept things as honest as they dare to reflect their live performances.
There are no guests; no four-part harmonies; no grand multi-tracked opuses; no bells and definitely no whistles.

Hide AdThe songs shout very loudly for themselves with only a smattering of sharp and contemporary production gloss.
