A Winter Union - Sooner After Solstice - A Transatlantic Folk Christmas (2023) [Hi-Res]

Five leading lights of the UK folk roots scene combine to make a seasonal record for the ages.

Featuring members of Gilmore & Roberts, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage and The Willows, it's no surprise that A Winter Union's Sooner After Solstice - A Transatlantic Folk Christmas showcases a band bursting with individual brilliance. Crucially though, A Winter Union produce a sound so much greater than the sum of their parts; this is a record full of the joy, passion and life - the magic captured between 5 friends in a room singing the seasonal music they love.

The band give nods to both British and American seasonal folk traditions through a mixture of their own writing, re-imagined traditional songs and some carefully chosen covers from Townes Van Zandt to Jethro Tull to Graeme Miles.
