THE SIMON HOPPER BAND A Land For The Many (2007)
A very talented singer/songwriter and this album is a 'must have' for fans of traditional British folk rock in the tradition of Fairport Convention.
The title track alone, with its lyric praising the positive impact of immigration and attacking the far right, is one you could easily imagine Fairport Convention tackling.
Then there is the traditional folk backing on 'Gewgaw' (a neat attack on the disposable consumer society), whilst 'Trevor Square' is just one of those songs to chill out to.
Singer/songwriter based folk music doesn't come much better than this and it is heartily recommended for fans of Fairport Convention, Richard Thompson and Steve Tilston.
