Theo Travis guests on Henry Parker's upcoming album Lammas Fair

Young British psych-folk artist Henry Parker has announced that he will release his new album, Lammas Fair, through Cup And Ring Records on November 5.

The new album featured a guest appearance from Soft Machine's Theo Travis on flute, piano and Fender Rhodes. Also appearing are Louis Berthoud (drums), Robert McNicholas (electric bass), Brendan Bache (congas, percussion), Hugh Bradley (double bass) and Richard Curran (violin, cello).

"I think you guys would enjoy the Fairport Convention, Pentangle, Nick Drake influence that runs through my music," Parker tells Prog. And he's right. Despite Parker's early metal and hardcore musical roots, if you're also a fan of the likes of Trees or Ryley Walker then Lammas Fair might be up your street.

Lammas Fair is Parker's second full length album, following on from his 2019 debut Silent Spring. You can check out the artwork and tracklisting for Lammas Fair below.
