Suthering (formerly known as Julu & Heg) have won much acclaim on the folk and acoustic circuit for their fresh, feminist interpretations of traditional and self-composed songs and their latest album (featuring eight original songs and a couple of covers) is a triumph. Through rich harmonies, and instrumentation that takes in piano, fingerstyle guitar work, flutes, whistles and harmonium, they conjure up a rare magic that feels dappled with the first rays of morning.
