It’s always exciting when one of the best live UK folk-rock bands UK releases a new album. ‘Anthems To The Wind’ is a joyful, infectious, uplifting slice of folk and folk-rock with a social conscience. The themes are very timely and on-point. It celebrates community, togetherness & love as antidotes to the current climate of conflict, division and hatred.

The album is born out of a side project ‘Merry Hell Acoustic’, a slimmed-down six-piece version of this multi-award-winning festival favourite. The sound and vibe are perfect for intimate spaces including folk clubs and art centers, where appreciative audiences can get up close and personal. The album was recorded live at Bunbury Village Hall, The Music Projects, Wigan and the Lion Salt Works, Northwich and it wonderfully reflects both the energy and intimacy of the band’s live performances.

Written by Virginia, Bob and John Kettle this 12-track album is a perfect addition to the Merry Hell cannon. It’s full of great uplifting and thought-provoking songs including ‘Drunken Serenade’, ‘The Butcher & The Vegan’, Fear Of Falling’, ‘Satisfied’ and some of my personal favourites ‘Lovin’ The Skin You’re In’ and ‘The War Between Ourselves’,

Also check out their wonderful documentary ‘A Year In the Life of Merry Hell’ filmed in 2018 and early 2019.
