Jazz meets world meets rock in this exciting new trio featuring Andy Findon on flutes and whistles, James Turner on tuned percussion and drums and Pete Walton on acoustic guitar.

Travelling Man

Recorded live at 3 Mills Studio in London, Travelling Man is the product of three years planning, experimenting and absorbing the Celtic spirit of Turlough O’Carolan’s music. The album doesn’t recreate traditional versions of his classic tunes but seeks to find a new way of telling the story. Six new compositions by Pete are his response to the powerful moods created by Carolan’s music.

King of Sorrow, featuring

Lorna Want on vocals, reflects on the

Carolan story and was inspired by

Brian Keenan’s brilliant imagining of

the life of Carolan in his book Turlough.

Lucy Hare on double bass also joins

Lorna and Acoustic Earth on this

track.

Lorna also adds her voice to the track

Lamentation, a reworking of the Carolan

tune The Clergy’s Lamentation.
