Imagined Village – Empire and Love – Released January 11th

Imagined Village release their new music album, Empire and Love, on the 11th January 2010

One of the most unusual collaborations of the past decade, The Imagined Village made a significant impression with their critically acclaimed and commercially successful début album (released via Peter Gabriel’s Real World label). They toured extensively, appeared on TV’s Later…With Jools show and won out at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. If the band had initially developed as a loose collective of singers and musicians, they have subsequently consolidated into a working, growing, organic band.

The music on Empire and Love is played by Martin Carthy, Eliza Carthy, Chris Wood, Simon Emmerson, Barney Morse Brown, Sheema Mukerjhee, Johnny Kalsi, Andy Gangadeen, Ali Friend and Simon “Palmskin” Richmond. The ‘Parish Council’ as they call themselves.
