Beyond a simple line up change, 2012 will see a complete reboot of The Albion Band. 2011 sees folk-legend Ashley Hutchings' torch being passed to a newer generation of English folk talent. As ever, this band brings together some of the finest young musicians and singers in the UK folk scene including Ashley's son, Blair Dunlop with Gavin Davenport, Katriona Gilmore, Tom Wright and Tim Yate. This new line-up recaptures the spirit of The Albion Band's heyday with a rockier, edgier approach to traditional English folk music. Taking the unique character of classic era Albion Band and fusing it with award winning song writing and a contemporary rock and indie vibe, this is the new sound of 21st century English Folk-Rock. The band will perform self-penned, re-written and traditional material as well as re-booted Albion Band classics in what promises to be a diverse and energetic live set. 'Dunlop and co's take on the Albion sound, which is a distinctly folk rock groove, is reminiscent of the old days of the Albions, but also firmly up to date.' Rhymin SimonPerformer Blair Dunlop. Performer Gavin Davenport. Performer Katriona Gilmore. Performer Tom Wright. Performer Tim Yates.
