Conflict Tourism is the fourth album from award-winning duo Gilmore & Roberts. Following a year of touring Katriona Gilmore and Jamie Roberts noticed a common thread running through their latest crop of original songs. Conflict, whether an internal struggle between positive and negative, or a healthy body and a disease, is an everyday phenomenon captured perfectly by these 11 tracks.

Previously nominated twice at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Gilmore & Roberts cover a broader and more contemporary genre-spectrum than might be expected from a duo wielding guitar, fiddle and mandolin.

Gilmore & Roberts are known as much for their exceptionally dynamic live show as they are for their prize-winning songs. With international tours and a formidable new album newly wedged under their belts, the duo are racing from strength to strength.

JESS MORGAN

Jess Morgan will have you sloshed and woozy over a tumbler of songwriting so disarmingly uncomplicated, it could be the best kept secret on the folk scene right now. Morgan’s spirited, story-fuelled songs are anchored by warmth of delivery, with her easily distinguishable voice carried over the driving wheels of unfancified claw-hammer-finger-style guitar playing.

A prolific writer and posterchild for do-it-yourself music, Morgan was proud to unveil this years unexpected and unusual release - ‘The Bournemouth EP’ to vibrant acclaim and plays from national and international radio alike. The entire first run of CDs, dressed in colourful and tactile limited edition packaging, sold out in less than a day.

“musicianship dovetails well with her clever and understated songwriting” - The Telegraph
