Come and join us for the third date of their UK tour, celebrating the release of their new album "Grass & Granite".Grass & Granite is the culmination of over three years of writing, performing and developing as musicians in the UK folk scene. The album explores multi-genre interests with elements of traditional English, Scottish and Irish tunes, newly written original tracks, and tastes of funk, americana and Scandinavian music, combining old and modern in an intricate and energizing blend. The arrangements are grounded in fiddle (Sean Morrison) and guitar (Harry Thorpe), with harmonium and guest vocal appearances adding to the mix.
The album explores strong feelings of longing for home when moving on to new adventures. The title ‘Grass & Granite’ came from Sean & Harry’s respective countryside upbringing in Ayrshire and Suffolk, before a chance meeting in a pub in the built-up area of central Birmingham, where they both lived for many years. This is reflected in the cover artwork (Hannah Berrisford) with the house carved into the standing stones of Pobull Fhinn, North Uist. An area of the Outer Hebrides where Sean’s grandfather is from. This reflects both the pastoral and industrial qualities of the Thorpe & Morrison sound.
