★★★★
The Dovetail Trio — Rosie Hood, Jamie Roberts and Matt Quinn — have been performing traditional English folk songs since 2014, touring folk clubs and festivals and building a reputation for powerful live performances.
Their second album brings together traditional songs recorded in a single room to give the listener a flavour of their live performances and it certainly gives that impression.
