So many people have helped make this happen, but in particular we would like to thank both sets of parents and family members; Ioulia Zoukova once again for designing this; Sam Hardy for his photography; Spencer Brooks for his encouragement and patience whilst recording; Russell and Carolyn Mackenzie at The Eldon Arms, Reading, for helping host our folk night; Rik Knight, Michael Tuffery, Ian Freedman, Greg Mayston, Danny and Ali McNamara, Ian Marriss, Robert Buttrick, and Josie Turner, a great selection of musicians and friends; ReadiFolk; The EFDSS, contemplator.com, MainlyNorfolk, and Lewes Library (Sussex), who are amazing sources for these songs; the staff of the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library (London) for their help with the research; Fay Hield for very kindly advertising us; Sam Sweeney and Seth Lakeman for their wonderful feedback; Colin Williams, who always has a nice word or ten even when things don’t go as planned; John Cochrane for driving us around everywhere, and his wife Suzanne for her unending optimism and cheer; Tom Channon for coming along to more Loreley shows than anyone else; Graham Steel for ensuring we always have at least one show to prepare for; Dave at Apex Music (Reading) for continuing to keep our instruments in a playable condition; The Rack of Ale (Dover), The Sound Machine (Reading), and The Retreat (Reading) for their support; Morgan and Pamela, for blogging about us in the Philippines and for their help in throwing leaves; anyone who has ever bought us drinks after (or sometimes during) a show; and last but in no way least, Wesley and Laurence just for unflinchingly being themselves.

Feedback is greatly appreciated, as are show bookings.
