Description
Saints & Sinners is a collaboration between Spikedrivers and duo Fran McGillivray & Mike Burke. Both are well known acts in their own right but the combination is something special. With five voices alongside some stunning instrumental virtuosity they create harmonies to die for and playing that goes straight to your toes.
'Going Over Home' harks back to the very early days of blues and gospel. When you went looking for a good time on Saturday night and hoped for redemption on Sunday morning. A time when the human voice held centre stage and the songs, and the feeling with which they were sung, were what mattered.
A collection of thirteen songs, some very old, some not so old, full of joy, longing, humour and, most of all, soul. Saints & Sinners.
