Production and recording by Martin Stansbury
Mixed by Martin Stansbury at Cacophony Cottage Studio – cacophonycottagestudio.co.uk
Mastered by Stuart Bruce

The St Buryan Sessions were filmed and recorded live (with no audience due to COVID-19) on 1 July 2020 in the beautiful church of St Buryan, Cornwall, parts of which date back to the 11th century. The idea was to recreate the energy, heart, soul and magic of a live performance in a quality production that would stand the test of time.

Thanks to the generosity of the 184 individuals who contributed to my crowdfunding campaign, to Canon Vanda Perrett and the St Buryan Parish Council, to the immense skill of the team I had the privilege of working with, and most of all to the church itself, whose glorious natural acoustic we captured with the help of ambient microphones placed around the soaring space – I believe I’ve achieved that aim. I hope you think so, too.

This is a beautiful, beautiful album by my great friend Zoë Pollock, with whom I made the Mama album back in 2009. Gorgeously earthy, expressive voice, stunningly lovely songs. Highly recommended. Sarah McQuaid
