BEN WATT
Subscribe to the Wonderful Ben Watt - he makes wonderful mix tapes and has done another seasonal wonder called Winter Aconite (Deep Folk Mix Tape 7) see below . . . . .
I stumbled across a recording of a weather report from the Burns’ Day storm of 1990 during which more than ninety people lost their lives. It inspired me to make this latest Deep Folk Mixtape. I chose songs and field recordings that all deal with winter and the Christmas season - a period of reflection and loss but also coming together and regeneration. Merry Christmas, all. See you in 2017. LISTEN
