They play warm, three-part harmony folk, but also let elements of country, Americana and Celtic sounds seep into their glorious melodies that take in everything from jaunty uptempo tunes to heart-stopping ballads.

Debut CD of THE MILE ROSES released in 2017 on Tantobie Records (TTRCD116)
featuring the original line-up of the band, Kate Bramley, Simon Haworth and Edwina Hayes.

The songs on the album cover a wide variety of styles and subject matter from the opening track Come Sailing that hints at the traditional Gypsy Davy story to the jazzier Too Much Love. There is the mariachi-inspired Late Night Lonely that nods towards early Roy Orbison and the high energy of Rockabilly Girls. The Whisky Song and Fare Thee Well are more rooted in the folk tradition. Another Year ponders that moment you see an old flame and can’t find the right words whilst the title track The Mile Roses looks back through the long history of travelling troubadours/
Dixie Moon, co-written by Edwina with Nashville star Elizabeth Cook is pure bluegrass Americana whilst Kate’s co-write with NE folksinger Jez Lowe, Kingsmen, harks bark to the travelling days of Shakespearean actors and players. Simon’s four new songs cover topics from longing following tragedy at sea (Neptune) to his grandfather’s wartime stories (Ship to Shore), and from the search for the Aurora (The Northern Lights) to the night time journey home after a gig (Taking the Long Road Home).
The album was recorded in the first half of 2017 by Alastair Artingstall (Keane / Divine Comedy / Jason Isbell) at Initial Laughter Productions, mastered by David de la Haye (The Monsters / Jez Lowe & the Bad Pennies) and is released on Tantobie Records (TTRCD116). It also features Alastair on piano, organ and percussion along with Uillean piper and whistles virtuoso Becky Taylor.

SOLO CD's AVAILABLE FROM THE BAND...
Kate Bramley- Little Canaan (Tantobie Records)
"Songs from the tradition, from her favourite writers and from her own pen make up this solo CD from Kate Bramley, whose role as fiddler and vocalist with Jez Lowe's Bad Pennies has won her fans all over the world. A vibrant blend of Celtic and old-timey influences, it brings together guest appearances from Edwina Hayes and James Keelaghan, and production by Jez, all stamped with the authority of Kate's rich vocals and dextrous multi-instrumental skills."

Simon Haworth- Taking Routes (Fellside)
"This second solo Fellside album sees the guitarist/singer-songwriter from Morpeth taking an entirely self-written path. Beautiful yearning melodies and tales draw inspiration from the wilds of the Northumberland/Cumbrian countryside he obviously knows and loves so well. The people and places of those lands that populate his songs are wide-screen - no small town concerns here." (Living Tradition) BUY SIMON HAWORTH SOLO CD NOW |
Kari Macleod- The Fugitive (KMac Music)
"Kari Macleod's music is a mixture of folk, country and bluegrass, yet still remains rooted in her traditional Scottish music background. Her debut self-penned album 'The Fugitive' is a collection of songs influenced by her upbringing in a small, coastal town in the Highlands of Scotland and covers themes of love, war, off-shore oil workers to the burning down of a house."
