Join us at the Leith FAB Cricket Club to celebrate the launch of Buried with full album band and support from The Good Capers.
Buried is the Debut album from Edinburgh folk singer Emma Capponi. It is an album of folk songs from the collection of Frances James Child. It was recorded in one take in front of a small audience in a friend's living room. We wanted to capture the feeling of being at a session or ceilidh sharing songs, singing them to one another as they have been for centuries.
Recorded by Neil Pennycook (Meursault), and featuring Fionnbarr Byrne, Aoife Boyd, Calum Macleod (Mulac) and William Anderson, this record ventures past traditional roots into an eerie world of drones, loops and close harmonies.
The Child Ballads are a collection of 305 traditional ballads, anthologised by Francis James Child in the second half of the 19th Century, but many of the songs can be traced as far back as the 1600s or earlier.
The Good Capers are a resonant folk duo hailing from Derby and Manchester. From powerful acapella pieces, to mournful guitar ballads, the fundamental sound of capers is in the lush, wholesome harmonies.
Buried will be available to purchase on the night on limited edition vinyl, alongside other merch. There will also be a zine available featuring the stories behind the songs, sheet music, and original artwork by Emma.
