  • Description

    A nicely curated compilation celebrating the range of European music released by Riverboat/World Music Network, and now available at a special low price. 'Brexit Blues' offers a light-hearted yet poignant collection of folk, roots and blues music from across Europe, lamenting a decision that confounds those of us who openly welcome our neighbours and celebrate cultural diversity.

    Press:

    "Riverboat certainly deserves an award for quick-witted marketing. The centre of gravity tilts towards Eastern Europe, which may or may not be an ironic comment on the tenor of the debate. There's even the mischievous addition of a track by the Turkish-Kurdish singer Olcay Bayir. The late John Renbourn flies the flag for the UK. Next challenge: a set looking on the bright side of Brexit." - The Sunday Times
