    Broken Sky

    by David Ferrard

    Award-winning songwriter/guitarist David Ferrard sings mostly his own material which ranges from gripping story songs, catchy tunes in the folk tradition and country ditties about love and heartache. He also performs traditional and folk material from both sides of the Atlantic, with a particular bent towards songs of political and social import.

    David Ferrard - vocals & acoustic guitar
    Karine Polwart, Yvonne Lyon, & Karen Dietz - vocals
    Alan Thomson (Pentangle) - fretless & fretted bass, slide guitar, mellotron
    James Ross - grand piano
    Sandy Butler - acoustic guitar
    Brian Young - guitars, keyboards and Estonian harp
    and from North Carolina, USA:
    Josh Goforth - fiddle, mandolin & backing vocals 

    'Bits of Woody Guthrie wedged in between Tom Paxton and Bob Dylan' ........Edinburgh Evening News

    Media Reviews

    Iain Anderson Show


    'David provides a very healthy synthesis - a vocal purity of the quality of a Scottish burn combined with the style and delivery of the tried and tested American product.'

    The Sunday Herald


    ...The album's standout track, Hills Of Virginia, gets into the head of a soldier in Iraq. "A buddy of mine/Stepped on a mine/His body just disappeared/He never returned/ To the hills of Virginia/All they buried were tears," Ferrard sings as the song's melodic shifts between major and minor become a thing of beauty. The protest tradition has many iconic songs, and who's to say that one day Ferrard's Hills Of Virginia won't be mentioned in the same breath as Eric Bogle's And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda... Alan Morrison, Sunday Herald "CD of the Week"
