“3 Acres and a Cow's Welsh sister show - Gadael Tir (Leave Land), a show in English that follows the trials and tribulations of the common folk who strove to build the nation from the ground up. As we tell theirstory through sing-along choruses of traditional songs; heart wrenching tales of desperation and perseverance; cross-dressing, axe wielding”

““SARATHY INSTANTLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WHEN HE SAID HE WANTED TO MAKE AN ALBUM THAT EMBRACED BOTH INDIAN FOLK MUSIC AND JAZZ - TWO WORLDS THAT HAVE HAD A BIG INFLUENCE ON ME. HIS ALBUM SUCCEEDS IN BRINGING THESE THINGS TOGETHER IN AN ELEGANT WAY, BUT IT’S HIS OWN STYLE AND IDEAS THAT COME THROUGH THE MOST IN THE MUSIC. REFRESHINGLY DIFFERENT, THIS IS A DEEP AND POWERFUL LISTENING EXPERIENCE.””
From: Sarathy Korwar

“Faeland’s original music is beautiful, enchanting, uplifting, technically impressive and extremely accessible. The band have audiences singing along and being moved instantaneously, regardless of whether or not you have heard their music before; There is something in the words and melodies which goes deeper than the everyday, touching on the mystical and the unspoken. The songs are performed on acoustic guitars, double bass, accordion, banjo, charango, violins, lush vocals and Celtic harp. Imagine the naturalness and earth of Martha Tilston combined with the instantly appeal of Fleetwood Mac, plus all the heart and sensuality of a modern day Kate Bush.”
