His heritage is Welsh, English and Scottish, and the rare and haunting beauty of his voice is ideally suited to the repertoire, but until now David Hobson has never recorded an album of music from the British Isles.

‘I have an inherent love for these glorious folk songs, and some of them have been in my concert repertoire for years,’ says Australia’s most popular tenor on the launch of his new album Enchanted Way, featuring best-loved songs from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. ‘It’s the kind of album I’ve wanted to make for many years.’

Backed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra conducted by Benjamin Northey, and with all-new arrangements by Jessica Wells, the album was recorded in the heat of inspiration, with David and the MSO being joined by Australian music legend (and friend) Paul Kelly, the Flinders String Quartet, and a host of leading folk musicians.

‘We wanted to give fresh interpretations to these great songs but also to preserve some sense of authenticity so we’ve used drones, as well as accordion, Celtic fiddle, and bodhran to capture the essence of these most evocative songs .’

Irish classics like Carrickfergus, She Moved Through the Fair, and Raglan Road (a line from which provides the album’s title) are included alongside quintessential Scottish ballads like Loch Lomond and Skye Boat Song, and English favourites Bushes and Briars and Foggy Foggy Dew.
