Jo and Rick's Third Album
Jo and Rick have been working really hard on their third album ‘Being Human’ and are really excited to announce that it is now available on Bandcamp, Spotify and other streaming platforms, with a limited edition CD.
Their music has expanded in depth and expression as their working relationship has become more unified. It still remains hard to classify but their ability to shift between instruments and styles, yet still retain their unique character is undeniable.
This album focusses on what it is to be human, the emotions, the challenges, the relationships between people, places and the natural world.
They have collaborated further with friend Niall Ross on various saxophones and Anne Wood on violin.
