Bright Phoebus Revisited ft. Paul Weller, Stewart Lee + more

Bright Phoebus, Lal and Mike Waterson's 1972 folk-noir masterpiece, has long been recognised as one of British music's legendary lost records. Following the parting of ways of The Watersons and freed from the strictures of folk orthodoxy, Lal and Mike Waterson's love of words allowed them to serve the needs of their songs in ways that weren't possible when singing already written songs.

Featuring performances from Lal, Mike and Norma Waterson, Martin Carthy, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks, Tim Hart and Maddy Prior, amongst others, the album is now recognised as a forward-thinking benchmark for the genre. Fans include Arcade Fire, Stephen Malkmus, Billy Bragg, Jarvis Cocker, Richard Hawley - the latter two performed the record themselves in 2013 on the Bright Phoebus Revisited tour.

Bright Phoebus Revisited celebrates the cult folk album, featuring family members Marry Waterson and Eliza Carthy performing the songs alongside special guests, including Paul Weller, Lankum's Daragh Lynch, Matt Deighton, Martyn Barker and Ben Nicholls with an introduction by Stewart Lee.
