Hidden Seam by Lisa Knapp

"A masterful creation" Observer

"Songs that twist, turn and constantly surprise" Guardian

"Lisa's album is a wondrous thing...Her singing is pure...the sense of intimacy is captivating..A wonderful record" Mark Radcliffe BBC6Music

Winner of 2014 BBC Folk Award for Best Original Song for Two Ravens featuring Martin Carthy this album also contains 'Shipping Song', a hypnotic muse on the national institution of the Shipping Forecast. Garnering the attention of BBC Radio 4 Lisa was subsequently asked to present a documentary for them on the Shipping Forecast, aired in 2015.

After the success of her debut, Wild & Undaunted, which mainly consisted of traditional songs Lisa set about writing an album of entirely original material for this, her second release. A plethora of much lauded contemporary songwriters feature for instance Glasgow based Alasdair Roberts adds vocal and guitar specialness on Hunt The Hare and highly acclaimed Kathryn Williams adds vocal magic on Hushabye.

All songs on Hidden Seam are entirely self-penned apart from one cover (Black Horse by the late Lal Waterson) on which Lisa duets with Fife's much extolled singer-songwriter, James Yorkston, and Marry Waterson (Lal Waterson's daughter) of English folk dynasty Waterson / Carthy family.

Joined instrumentally by the inimitable Pete Flood on percussion duties throughout and renowned guzheng player, Zi Lan Liao on Ruler of The Rest the album is produced and mixed by Gerry Diver who also adds much of his own instrumental and musical magic across the songs.
