The Tailors
“an album that was made to get you through the cruel winter months... endearing, beautiful and unashamedly pretty”
The Line of Best Fit
"delightfully lazy The Tailors make a well-weighted case for simplicity as the key to staying power"
music OMH
"a brilliantly well-balanced, poetic album that will speak truth to us all"
For Folk's Sake
"exquisitely crafted songs that can't fail to impress even the most critical of listeners"
The Morning Star
Mary Epworth
"So exuberant in its ragged glory that you would be very hard-hearted indeed if you weren't moved to smile, to join its rutted rolling procession, its pilgrimage, its parade of smashing cymbals, shivering violins, clamorous voices and a horn section just roused from sleep, but game for the journey to Rome, to Damascus, Samarra, Mecca or simply the end of a cobbled London street." shakeyourfist.blogspot.com
"Those much loving of Men An Tol, Mellow Candle and indeed the Owl Service / Hobby Horse collective will find much to swoon about here, featuring a wind weaving cortege of banjos, wooden spoons and other strangely archaic instruments ’the Saddle Song’ is a beguilingly bracing slice of ramshackle woodland rustics, a pagan procession if you like festooned with a deep south funereal march like guile that’s been strangely relocated to the wiles of Wicker Man land. Described by Mary herself as a ’pub shanty’ this crafted relic from a forgotten musical heritage combines enchantment, mystery and a sweetly alluring charm of timeless reverie which if you happen to pass up on will result in you self administering repeat arse kicking routines from here till the next winter solstice. You have been warned." Losingtoday.com
"A swooning oompah of a song. Fiddles flurry, backing vocals waltz and it's all wrapped into a compact two minutes. Get a flagon of ale and get stuck in to it.": Lee Puddefoot- Artrocker
Alex Highton

ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE." - Rebel Riffs Blogspot
