Darkest Before the Dawn
Frankie Armstrong with Shanee Taylor and Sarah Harman


Fair Moon Rejoices

"There's nothing fragile about Armstrong's singing. It glows gloriously on Mike Westbrooke's Blake settings (including a brilliant London Song) and she attacks songs of injustice with honest and impressive conviction, a vigour made all the more striking and dramatic by the album's taut production." - Glasgow Herald
