Real roots, folk stylings: with traditional folk songs as reworked by Cath and Phil; plaintive simple lullabies, upbeat banjo led jigs, this has a real British folk sound. relying on spare acoustic arrangements (mainly guitar and fiddle), direct story-songs tailor-made to be played on a front porch, and their own rough harmony singing, dumb supper is traditional songcraft at its finest, the pair going the authentic route and for the most part succeeding. 

Cath's soft burlap voice is emotive and offset nicely by Phil's stinging high harmony, and the uncluttered instrumentation perfectly serves the material-rhythms are mere ghosts, while melodies are left to shine like unpolished diamonds in the rough. <i>Dumb Supper</i> provides positive proof that simple doesn't necessarily mean uncomplicated.
