Alasdair Roberts - The Old Fabled River (Vinyl)
Responding to the invitation of Norwegian fiddler Hans Kjorstad, Alasdair made an almost preternatural connection with a group of musicians well-versed in folk, jazz, and free playing. The diverse musical backgrounds deeply inform this collection of Roberts’ originals and Scottish and Norwegian traditional song. Nicking a spiritual conceit off Saint Teresa, Orison of Union notes love’s human frailty, drawing strength from the powerful symbols in nature around us. The band play sweet, with a spry strut, verging into a march at the chorus, as guitar, reeds and fiddle play the tune’s head, giving way to an intimate union of folk ancestry.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.

Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
