This week’s Album of The Week is from The Changing Rooms – ‘Picking up the Pieces’
From Cornwall our Celtic Cousins bring us their language and culture in well crafted , poetic , vibrant storytelling of a Celtic land that has often been overlooked by it’s neighbours!
Tanya Brittain /Sam Kelly  /Jamie Francis / Evan Carson / Morrigan Palmer Brown /

 

 

Tanya and Sam created The Changing Room in 2014, and have never looked back since. The band won all three categories of the 2015 International Pan Celtic Song Contest: Best Original Song (for Tanya’s shanty-style composition Row Boys Row), Best Traditional Song in a Celtic Language (for their rendition of Delyow Sevi which is on this album), and Overall Winner. Sam and Tanya are the two constant members of The Changing Room, and the door is left open for the line-up of other musicians to change and evolve. The band’s five-piece touring line-up includes Jamie on banjo, Evan on percussion and Morrigan on harp. Sam, also won the 2016 Horizon Award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards
