Today Proper Music Distribution released a compilation of young folk artists called Folk Rising 2, which features the track Murray's Wives from Ruth Theodore's Worm Food!

The follow up to last year's successful 'Folk Rising' and the phenomenal success of the 'That's Proper Folk!' sampler. This time 23 artists are included on two CDs, reflecting the growing momentum behind the current folk revival and features many artists who are at the start of their careers but who are still attracting considerable critical acclaim and media interest.

Back in May we signed a distribution deal with Proper (the UK's largest independent), which means that you can now buy our releases from your favourite independent record stores, as well as all the major chains like HMV and Amazon, but try and keep that to yourselves :)

Worm Food is also now available from practically all of the digital download services, including iTunes in DRM free format.

So, it's never been easier to grab yourself a copy!

Soon (when I manage to write the rest of the code) we'll be launching our very own digital download service, so you'll be able to buy high quality MP3s direct from us.. all in good time.
