" Six track mini album featuring Arrested, Acid Sky, Lay Down, Wasting, Hei Hei Heimari and Tears. Tolka is based around singer songwriter S Murphy, born and raised on the northside of Dublin, hence the reference to the tolka river. The album features a truly beautiful blend of sixties and seventies folk sounds with just some touches of Dirty Three like ambience. There are hints of the kind of dark sombre folk of the likes of Nick Drake blended with some really lovely string and brass sounds. november 2009 " Road Records

Bridget Hayden CDR (ROWF16) out now
Recorded at The Bowling Green pub in Manchester on 17th November 2008, when Bridget was on tour with Marcia Bassett, this is a maximal 25-minute set of epic guitar brutalising and deep, moaned vocal incantations. Employing a bow and 'metal' effects pedals, the resulting cacophony is orchestral in scope, rendering almost unreliable the memory of one woman and her instrument. Somewhat akin to Bassett's duo with Matthew Bower, Hototogisu, the deeply layered tones created by Hayden offer, upon first exposure, a somewhat icy auditory experience, but as the recording settles in, the richness and sheer breadth of sound wraps around you like a feather quilt and shifts your perception almost 180 degrees. A truly magnificent set from this former Vibracathedral Orchestra member.
