A spokesperson said: “Songs have always taken centre stage with Jimmy and Sid and as they launch their third album, Many A Thousand, we see the duo flexing not only their vocal and instrumentation skills, but also their talent as composers.

“Part of what makes this compelling duo tick is a love of traditional folksong and a mutual passion for the history that is carried in the music.

“On Many A Thousand the past and present sit side by side, with original songs more than comfortably holding their own next to the traditional. Another crucial element to this partnership is a shared world-view – sustainability, traditional crafts and living in tune with the land – all elements that deeply inform their music.

“Many A Thousand will be released in September with a launch at Kings Place in London. This is followed by a full UK tour.”
