Geordie has a lifetime of experience of traditional song and his knowledge and love of the tradition comes through in all his music. On his album with his wife Alison McMorland they have blended older songs with recently written songs including several from the pen of Geordie himself. The fact that the CD comes across as a seamless whole, rather than merely a collection of great songs, is a testament to the writers and the singers and their place in a long unbroken tradition.
