I wrote For a While on hearing about the death of one of Cambridge’s best folk singers and a dear friend. It was a pleasure and a privilege to have sung with him. I know that this ends the album on a very sad note, and I am sorry, but the first song is cheerful so stick it on again!
lyrics
I may not see you for a while,
I may not see you for a while,
I never saw you everyday, never saw enough of you anyway, but I will think of you everyday,
I may not see you for a while,
I may not hear from you for a while,
I may not hear you, for a while,
Strangely I can still hear you sing, sometimes your voice is louder than everything, be sure to know I'm still listening,
I may not hear you for a while,
I heard you won't be around for a while,
I heard you won't be around for a while,
I never saw you everyday, never saw enough of you anyway, but I will think of you, for a while everyday,
I heard you won't be around for a while.
This album blends live and studio recordings to make something totally new and unexpected. It is a joy from start to finish. It's a lyrical and rifftastic wonder. Naomi Randall

Nice pop balladry with a folk influence. My first thought upon hearing this was "female Paul McCartney" but it is probably aiming for Sandy Denny territory. Lavinia was in psychedelic folk band Trembling Bells. Art Fin

this records been keeping me company for a couple of years now. Beautifully produced in managing to convey a sense of simultaneous delicacy and menace. Like folk music realised through a lens of Sabbath. Entrancing. nujumi
A female voice that feels out of another century quivers over a folk harp on the 11 tracks that make up this exclusive video album. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 14, 2016
