Tobias, Phillip and Hannah: a superb set

Many, many thanks to the members of The Roots Union who came in on Monday to entertain us on rootsandshoots. Spellbinding music, amazing instrumental dexterity and haunting vocals - all-in-all a great mix of roots music with an original twist. The band are now on a tour around the UK and we wish them very well and are absolutely certain that they will captivate audiences everywhere. Find out more about The Roots Union and hear samples of their music on myspace.
Their set for us comprised:
Song To Light Your Candle By; Love Is The Revolution; English Tunes: Snow Dove + Cuckoo's Nest; Sketches; Rough Diamonds
