Fast emerging as one of England's brightest new traditional instrumentalists, singer and melodeon virtuoso Ollie King's debut album Gambit features cameos from such luminaries as Fay Hield, Sam Sweeney, James Findlay and Rosie Hood.
Recorded and produced by Folk Award-winning producer Andy Bell (The Full English, Spiers & Boden) with photography and artwork by Elly Lucas, Gambit is a pure, uncompromising gem of a debut, at once utterly modern and deeply traditional. Morris tunes and shanties rub shoulders with new compositions from John Dipper, John Tams and Ollie himself. Gambit will delight purists and newcomers alike with its elegant mixture of technical precision and joyous energy.
