Bridget St john

Fly High A Collection of Album

Unique new collection from one of the most distinctive voices in British folk music. Highlights, rarities and unreleased tracks from Bridget's Dandelion Records period (1968-1972). Signed, overseen and part produced by John Peel. Key tracks from three classic albums. Never before on CD 1968 demos. Debut release for three tracks recorded live for French TV. First ever release for interview material and 2009 session recordings (featuring Michael Chapman) exclusive to Cherry Red TV. Also includes BBC session highlights, singles and b-sides. Complete with excellent essay by long term Bridget authority and friend Nigel Cross. A wonderful, insightful set - the perfect introduction to Bridget's work. Disc two includes a total of twenty unreleased tracks and interview excerpts. Bridget St John remains a cornerstone of the British folk movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and still performs to adoring audiences today. This set expands on the usual 'best of' to include a cornucopia of extra material which goes beneath the surface to explore further the dawning of this wonderful talent.
