Talking With Harbottle & Jonas
With their new album From The Moor To The Sea just hitting the shelves it seemed like a great tie to catch up with Harbottle & Jonas
I've been lucky enough to follow (Dave) Harbottle & (Freya) Jonas as they have developed as musicians and seen them playing both club and festival as a duo and more recently with fiddle player Richard Trethewey.
They have always been great songwriters and interpreters of songs, having recorded what I consider my definitive versions of a number of traditional songs. Similarly one of my definitions of a folk album is a history lesson, a geography lesson and a murder. Their new album, "From The Moor To The Sea" not only matches that criteria, but also managed to centre those themes entirely on Devon.
It seemed like an excellent opportunity to catch up with Harbottle & Jonas and have a chat
