The new album is ready!
Starting slow, and slowly building, in the style of an album from the olden days
where the sum of the whole is an detailed experience. We hope you like it!

Ted Thomas just wrote and tells us
it reminds him of Joni Mitchell's
'Ladies of the Canyon' album (blush),
brilliant for Sunday mornings
slowly waken up listening.

An early sets night, so working folks can still get up the next day.
We've been away from our friends in Toronto,... come and see what we're up to.

The gig is to celebrate our new album, WITH THE NIGHT FAST APPROACHING, which will be released in earliest June 2011. Once again the album is guitar focused cross-Atlantic traditional songs, with some great fiddle played by piper/fiddler Nichol Caisley. If you need a genre, think the third wave of the British folk revival.

We look forward to see you at the Gladstone!

Barclay and Steele are just returned from summer

touring and recording in Tyneside UK

We'll be featured performers at the White Church, RI if you want to drop by and hear a few Northumberland or Quebec fiddle tunes, and our usual mix of songs from both sides of the Atlantic.

We spent some days up at Studio One at Tyneside, playing in the new CD.
We're not sure what it will be called yet, maybe: With the Night Fast Approaching.

We were delighted to work again with guest fiddler Nichol Caisley & with engineer
Ron Angus. There's just a few voice tracks to attain, and perhaps one more song...

Barclay and Steele are very excited to be playing at
the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, May 25th, 2010.

find us in the Melody Room, at 8pm

It will be an early sets night, so working folks can still get up the next day. We've been away from our friends in Toronto, for what seems like years. And it is! We have a special guest fiddler Jesse Hull performing with us that night. He'll be arriving all the way from from Austrailia, via Manitoba. The lengths we go to! Jesse played with us on the album ISLET, and also on Rebecca's new album, CINNABAR, which will be released shortly, in 2010. Look forward to see you at the Gladstone!

We are also scheduled in to record later this summer with Ron Angus, our favourite sound maiestro, at the Audioloft in Tyneside, UK. We'll be commencing work on two different album projects. More on that later...

We play:
Concerts, Ceilidhs, Classes, History, & Festivals.

Rebecca Barclay and John Steele provide dark mysterious vocals and intricate guitar, combining to present sparse, intensely direct and compelling older traditional story songs.
