About "The Seeds Of Love":

“A year or so ago my wife came home with a book published by the English Folk Music and Dance Society called "The Seeds of Love". I was immediately taken with how beautiful the book was and a large part of this record is comprised of songs from the book. In a lot of cases I was new to the songs and I simply read the verses from the page and waited for a melody to come to me that I thought fitted the words. For some I already knew the song and decided to play it straight with the traditional melody. For some time I've wanted to make a record with a very traditional feel, a "proper folk record" and this book really helped that along. One way or another all the songs on this record are songs of love, be it tragic, misguided, unrequited or true.”

On Serious Sam Barrett's connection to the local Yorkshire club scene:

“I've had some of the most incredible experiences listening to people sing in folk clubs and I was lucky enough to have been brought up on the magical world that is the Yorkshire folk club scene. I hope in some way this record bring to life the wonder I have felt listening to people sing traditional songs in a raw, warts and all style.”
