“This Mercury prize nominee continues to shake up the folk scene with this second album packed with drama and surprise. Sam Lee again concentrates on traditional songs he learned from Gypsy travellers; they are performed in no-nonsense, almost crooned style, but with startlingly original settings' 5 * The Guardian.
Sam Lee’s second release, ‘The Fade in Time’, features hand-selected traditional folk songs but is very much a 21st Century album. London born & bred Sam has journeyed intrepidly throughout the British Isles and Ireland seeking out and recording ancient songs from the last of the Gypsy Traveller singers, presenting his interpretations with a vital new energy.
'If you like Kate Rusby you'll love Sam Lee'
