Burning Bright

Pete Cooper (fiddle, voice) and Richard Bolton (guitar, 7-string guitar, cello, voice) have been performing and recording contemporary acoustic roots music as a duo for nearly a quarter of a century. They are joined by Raph Mizraki (percussion, bass) for three of the thirteen tracks. Jenny Coxon, of English Folk Dance & Song magazine, wrote of a previous album - 'Two superbly innovative musicians at the height of their craft; communicating their love of the material they choose to play, while continuing to explore and develop their repertoire and range. Straightforward traditional English, classical, jazz, blues, world roots: all these performing styles are skilfully utilised, but not at the expense of communicating and sharing the intrinsic qualities of each piece.
