Eleven traditionals that needed to be sung about heavy hearts, green laurels and soft dew accompanied on thumb piano, guitar, saxophone and more.

"Sophie ter Schure can sing beautifully - she has a lovely round, yet vulnerable voice - and does so with conviction. An album to cherish" - NewFolkSounds

Sophie sings dark songs from eras past as if they were written yesterday. The person who guesses the correct number of deaths and broken hearts at the end of a gig will get a reward. Sophie accompanies herself on guitar or thumb piano or on nothing at all. Her debut solo album ‘Laurels' was released this year, containing eleven wretched love songs, in collaboration with Jack Durtnall and Nicholas O'Brien.
