Twenty first century folk fires a respectful broadside at the traditional.

The Salts are a co-operative of seasoned musicians, creating what could become one of the most exciting and energetic folk concepts of recent times.

Indvidually The Salts, fronted by twice BBC Young Folk Finalist Lee Collinson-James, have circumnavigated the Commonwealth with tours of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Their foot-stomping tunes recorded in England and finished in Australia feature a mesmerising mix of full speed traditional and original shanties.
