"A formidable acoustic duo. The strength of their material suggests they have written songs that
may well be with us for a long time to come”
- Mike Wilson, Folking.Com -

"An exceptional debut. Brother Crow offer their audience profound, penetrating, intense songs
delivered with feeling and passion...a talent many will envy."
- Tim Carroll, FolkWords -

"These songs are certainly memorable, many of them peculiarly haunting, and their lyrics suitably evocative. Put me in mind of early Show Of Hands material."
- Dave Kidman, Folk Roundabout -

"Original music replete with the charm of the duo’s native Weardale. Thumbs Up."
- fRoots Magazine -

"This CD (One For Sorrow) with it's 11 tracks is an absolute gem."
- Anita Atkinson, Weardale Gazette -

Brother Crow perform original songs on guitar, mandolin and ten-string bouzouki. Their narrative epics about the people, places and historical events of their local area combine well with fine songs about family life, personal experience and introspection.

Andrew Davison, who plays guitar and ten-string bouzouki, is the duo’s lyricist and main songwriter. He combines powerful rhythm and delicate finger-style to dramatic effect and his intense lyrics, and strong sense of narrative, paint imaginative pictures of the Durham Dales and beyond.

Graeme Carroll is an accomplished mandolin player and tune writer, having won the James Hill trophy at Durham Traditional Music festival in successive years (2006 and 2007). His playing has a complexity which combines affection for traditional tunes/playing with a modern melodic style.

Brother Crow’s live performances have been described as intense, captivating and beautiful. The dark nature of some of their songs is counter-balanced by a strong stage presence, a natural sense of humour and fun and a deep knowledge of their subject matter.

They have recently been receiving a great deal of radio exposure in the North East of England, either by playing live in the studio, or with featured tracks from their debut CD.
