About Me

We met at a record shop. Played for a while. We now sound like us.

Our debut full length album has finally arrived at our doorstep. It's out in shops now. You can also buy it from us here for ONLY £5 CD or LP. We cannot say fairer than that, Jim.


Lionshare 'From the Ground'
PR008 (CD/LP)

'it's an interesting, dense, beautiful and rewarding piece of work, which would make a welcome addition to the record collection of anyone with a passing interest in the more experimental end of the folk spectrum'. tasty fanzine (jan 2008)

'this combines rich instrumentation with a slightly ramshackle character to produce an album of psychedelic folk, as seen through a filter of classic Brit-folk'. jumbo records (march 2008)

'an outstanding debut which doesn't just hint at greatness but delivers it fresh and sanguine on a plate'. moving tone (jan 2008)

1. A Mans Love Is Wholly
2. Grasshopper
