Andrew Robson Trio - The Child Ballads featuring Mara Kiek

The Child Ballads is a new project from award-winning saxophonist and composer Andrew Robson. Based on ballad texts from FJ Child’s iconic collection, The Child Ballads brings to life ancient folk tales of love, lust, treachery and murder.

Andrew breathes new life into the lyrics of eight English and Scottish folk ballads. He is recognised as one of our most distinctive improvisers and composers, leading a number of his own groups and stepping in Ten Part Invention, after Bernie McGann’s after his retirement.
