I feel kind of sad I didn’t help build the hype for Sillion like I did for Country Mile after I first started this blog. Because it’s really deserving and people just aren’t talking about it. There’s no excitement here like there used to be! where is everyone!!

listen to Sillion y’all

I'm loving Sillion.

I feel like it fits right in with folk revival acts like Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, and Albion Band to name a few. Their influence is strong, absolutely. Each song is beautifully layered, full, warm, and story-rich. And I think this lineup of the Sussex Wit is the best it’s ever been–the instrumentation, harmonies, syncopation. Excellent. I’m not sure which song is my favorite, as I feel like its quality is consistent throughout. What do you all think??

Anonymous asked:

Does JF ever stay around after gigs to meet fans/sign stuff? What's my best bet with seeing him after the show?

Yes he does that very often! I would just kind of hang out near the stage for a few minutes and he will usually come out from the back to say hi and take pictures. Good luck with meeting him!!

My Dad died when I was 18, and that was quite a galvanising experience, and there’s often an element of that in anything I’m writing; every big loss that you suffer in life, I think everything comes through the conduit of that. I had a really strong sense of my daughter having elements of my Dad when she came along, and it made me kind of laugh - that cyclical sense, of thinking of my daughter as my Dad.
