PHIL TYLER AND SARAH HILL

Phil Tyler and Sarah Hill met in Newcastle,  where they sang in Sacred Harp sessions and folk clubs. They deliver music that feels steeped in tradition.

The instrumentation (guitar, banjo and ukulele are variously used), is minimal but it exudes heart and passion.

Phil and Sarah's songs are primarily traditional, learned from versions by folk legends like Shirley Collins, Bob Copper, Martin Carthy and Peggy Seeger.

Here's what critics thought of their album “What We Thought Was A Lake Was A Field Of Flax”:

"...exceptional in every sense of the word...certainly one of the best albums of 2022..

The variety on offer across What We Thought Was A Lake Was A Field Of Flax is exceptional; the balance of pace makes it engaging, while the selection of songs makes it intriguing.

Each song and tune is impeccably performed; I can’t recommend it enough."
