The trio are joined by a stellar cast of guest musicians including Bellowhead\\u2019s Sam Sweeney, pedal steel guitarist M G Boulter, classical percussionist Toby Kearney and the bass vocals of Neil McSweeney. Coracle\\u2019s title track features a string section made up of top UK folk players and was recorded live in a church with spine-tingling results.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe result is a vital album that crackles with creative energy.
