A Pocket Full of Acorns
(Winding Track)
★★★★★
NAMED after a down in the Purbeck hills, Dorset-based folk duo Ninebarrow — Jon Whitley and Jay LaBouchardiere — have been captivating audiences over the last few years with their innovative take on traditional and contemporary folk songs.
Their fourth album is inspired by the landscape and history of Dorset, with the title track referencing Nelson’s second in command at the Battle of Trafalgar, who always carried acorns in his pockets to plant in appropriate places, reflecting the duo’s own environmental concerns and commitment to planting trees.
