Live by Lady Maisery
Released in late 2019, this album beautifully captures Lady Maisery's inimitable live sound. Far more than the sum of the trios multi-instrumental talents and a testament to a decade of singing together, a Lady Maisery concert is a world away from their studio albums in energy and their viscerally original communication of old and new songs. This album also celebrates the trio's collaboration with their touring sound engineer Neil Segrott, who is now as much a part of the sound of the band as each member, playing his mixing desk as an instrument throughout each show, and recording and mixing this live album.
This record spans material from Lady Maisery's three studio albums as well as songs from their contributions to the 'Songs of Seperation' album, which won Best Album at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2017.
