'A gorgeous, atmospheric offering' Folk Radio UK
'A mesmerising and haunting new album from Lucy Kitchen.'

JASON MCNIFF
Jason is a troubadour who has made nine albums which people call Folk, Americana, or Alt. Country. There is an Englishness in his guitar playing however, and you might like to think of Bert Jansch or Wizz Jones meeting John Prine & Townes Van Zandt. Time Out writes, ‘McNiffs quiet, intimate, fragile-sounding vocals draw you into his world, an almost timeless place, through which he drifts, a romantic loner, a dreamer, at home with the blues.’ He is often touted as one of the UKs most overlooked musical treasures.
'I love Jason's version (of Fisherman's blues)'
Mike Scott, The Waterboys
'Jason's versions sound so fresh, whilst staying true to Bert's timeless music'
