Various - Wrecks, Rucks, Riots & Resurrection (CD)

* 'Wrecks, Rucks, Riots & Resurrection' is the fifth in the series of CD compilations showcasing the broad range of folk and roots based acts appearing at the annual Leigh Folk Festival in Leigh-on-sea, Essex. This compilation marks the Festival's 21st anniversary and is the usual blend of folk legends (Martin Carthy), well established new folk talent (Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts, Blueflint), leftfield folk (Doomed Bird of Providence, Sharron Kraus), international acts (KC McKanzie) and plenty of surprises thrown in for good measure.

* Single 23 track CD in foldout 6 panel card sleeve.

* The previous four collections have earned glowing reviews, and much radio airplay from the BBC both regionally and nationally, including Radio 2 (Mike Harding) and Radio 3 (Late Junction), proving that these exquisitely curated albums have an appeal that reaches far beyond the location and timeframe of the Festival itself.
