Cathryn Craig and Brian Willoughby

LOVE BELONGS RIGHT HERE  

September 20th 2001, is my 52nd. birthday and it also marks my 30th. year as a professional guitarist. On my 22nd. birthday, I did an audition with Mary Hopkin and immediately turned my back on my future as a language teacher.

Mary offered to take me off to Australia and all points N, S & W. The rest is history.

This song is our first attempt at writing together after all this time and  I’m very proud
to have Mary as a dear friend and now a writing partner.

The recording was edited to a great extent, Kenny the engineer watched in horror as I bravely elbowed harmony vocals, Mary on keyboards and my electric guitar!! 
Vocal by Mary Hopkin

  New Album

The grand unveiling of "Surrender", our new album…

We are both very happy with the record, produced by Phil Rynhart, assisted by ourselves.

We have wonderful guest artists, including Mary Hopkin and Doogie White on vocals, Dennis Bryon on drums and vocals, Eleanor McEvoy on violin, Alistair Gavin ..boards and Phil Rynhart on bass, keyboards, guitar, vocals, artwork and anything he could lay his hands on! 

The tracks are…

These Dreams (developed from This Night, These Dreams and You on "Fingers Crossed")

Two Hearts, One Love (new "band" version of Cathryn's popular song)

Surrender (inspired by the survivors of the 2004 Tsunami)

The Rejected Lover (a stunning duet featuring Mary Hopkin and Cathryn, taken from Cathryn's great-grandfather's version in Cecil Sharp's book "English Folksongs from The Southern Appalachians)

Accanoe (a tribute to Pocahontas, who came from Cathryn's home territory)

Rumours of Rain (an acoustic version of our mammoth Folk For Peace epic)

Genevieve (Cathryn's aunt, a pioneering female pilot in Virginia)

Genevieve in Flight (guitar instrumental)

Alice's Song (a beautiful re-make of our signature song, with Eleanor McEvoy)

Glenarm (guitar instrumental, inspired by Brian's birthplace in Northern Ireland)

The Green Glens of Antrim (traditional folk song, featuring Brian's Dad, Walter, on the accordion) 

The album, on Cabritunes, will be available in September from our website…  www.craigandwilloughby.com
