Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith to release 3rd studio album
We are delight to announce that our friends Sid & Jimmy are set to produce and release a new help. But they need your help. After 7 years of developing and playing their own brand of folk music Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith are set to produce their 3rd studio album ‘Many a Thousand‘.
They have have been busy writing, collecting, arranging and recording for a while now and recently enlisted the help of some incredible musicians to play on the album. This was such a success that they are planning to take the whole band on tour with them when they launch the album through September and October.
Jimmy & Sid’s last album ‘Night Hours’ was widely acclaimed, particularly the duo’s ability to discuss topical subject matter. This third album develops this strength further while showing their respect for the traditional material that inspires their music
“To be a great folk singer, you have to be a great storyteller, as Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith are clearly aware. The duo are both fine singers and multi-instrumentalists.” The Guardian
Jimmy & Sid are self releasing this album which means they need to pay for all the recording/production/administration costs upfront. To help recoup some of this money they are running a crowdfunding campaign where you can pre-order the new album and receive it weeks before the release date. There are a whole load of other rewards available for your support including your very own house concert.
Jimmy and Sid will be on tour this summer and you can catch them at Bude Folk Festival, Chester Folk Festival, Fire in the Mountain, Ely Folk Festival, Warwick Folk Festival, and Fieldview Festival. They are then launching their album with a major UK tour, kicking off on 6 September at Kings Place, London. The album, Many a Thousand, is released 6 September.
