In March 2011, eight artists – Steve Knightley, Jackie Oates, Andy Cutting, Caroline Herring, Jim Moray, Patsy Reid, Leonard Podolak and Kathryn Roberts – gathered together at Henley Farmhouse in Shropshire for a seven-day residential, with an artistic brief to create new works that have a ‘resonance and relevance’ to legendary song collector Cecil Sharp , and, in particular, the Appalachian travels and song collecting he undertook in America between 1915–18.

The residential was immediately followed by three concerts (one in Shrewsbury, and two in London; the latter at Cecil Sharp House in Camden). These performances were professionally recorded as the The Cecil Sharp Project. This unique collaboration returns to London following critical acclaim. Songlines selected the Cecil Sharp Project album as one of the ten best new releases of the year in their pick of 2011.
