Bonny Caps

2020 release, the follow-up to Gerry Cinnamon's Top 20 debut album Erratic Cinematic, which has been certified Gold. Everything that Gerry has achieved has been done entirely independently via his own label Little Runaway. It's the result of making a connection with fans in the purest way. His songs tell relatable stories which have captured the imagination of audiences up and down the country. Gerry makes a habit of whipping the audience into a frenzy which sees them leaving on a high and wanting more.

After the disastrous "Gottle O' Geer" album from the previous year (which had been intended as a Dave Swarbrick solo album), stalwart Simon Nicol returned to the group and provided the group with the crucial ingredient it had been missing since he departed in 1972 with his perfectly sympathetic guitar. Here we have them sounding like Fairport Convention again, tackling traditional fare with great enthusiasm and aplomb. Their joy in playing as a reconstituted group shines through on tracks like "The Eynsham Poacher", with its lovely harmonies, and as a formidable instrumental group it's tracks like bassist Dave Pegg's "Jams O'Donnell's Jigs" that satisfy most. The title track is one they attempted clear back in 1970 and is a sure-fire jaw-dropping classic. A fine return to form.
