Review
For those like me who come from a very 'classical' background, these books are an excellent eye-opener in to the vibrant world of the folk-singer. - .thanks are due to Kathryn Davidson and the Sage for devising the learning programme that has given rise to such inspiring and enlightening books. In my opinion they should definitely be in the library of every singing teacher. And not just to provide new repertoire for the ABRSM folk-song requirements! Singing Magazine (AOTOS), Spring 2013
