Cath and Phil originally met some years ago when Phil was helping arrange a UK tour for Cordelia's Dad. They fell in love and married, Cath relocating to Newcastle, and they now make beautiful music together. Literally!
Cath & Phil's music beautifully blends the hard edged traditions of primitive Americana and English folk, using guitar, banjo, fiddle and more, all topped with their searing vocals and sublime harmonies. Their songs speak of grit, blood and guts, tenderness, love and death.
Cath & Phil believe in folk retaining its original storytelling function, passing on tales through the centuries. In their words: "These songs came to us by way of Lena Bourne Fish, Hattie Hicks Presnell, Homer Cornett, Eleazar Tillett & Martha Etheridge (Anne & Frank Warner Collection); the Sacred Harp....We changed some of the words and wrote some of the tunes." All the songs on the album are adaptations of songs they've unearthed or have been passed onto them through family members, musical collaborators and their own love of the original information highway, folk music.
Cath & Phil Tyler's take on folk is a very welcome antidote to much of the current tide of fey/faux folk and acoustic whimsy, reinstating grit, virtuosity, authenticity and mesmeric, powerful performance to this timeless genre.
