From the furthest edges of the country; a land of "hateful sunsets and the end of time" (John Heath-Stubbs), The Sea Kings landed in London during a self-imposed exile from their homeland of Cornwall.

Using rich vocal harmony, percussion, mandolin as well as guitar, The Sea Kings created songs and stories about beaches, cliffs, tides and shipwrecks, inspired by the landscape they heralded from.

The project resulted in an album - the realisation of years of writing, rehearsing, gigging and touring - eagerly anticipated by those familiar with the innovative sound of the trio and hotly received on the folk circuit by websites, magazines, blogs and podcasts. This album is still available HERE, as well as on music platforms such as iTunes.

Appearances at Glastonbury Festival and support slots for Joan Armatrading, Julie Felix and Chris Wood followed, as well as constant navigation of London's folk and acoustic scene.

And with that - as The Sea Kings launched their ship of songs - the three members boarded their own lifeboats and let the tides and winds take them in their own directions, on their own journeys, to land one day upon shores unknown.
