Hold Fast

Hold Fast is the story of Michael, a smart and stubborn 14-year old from Newfoundland outports whose world is turned upside down when his parents die in a car crash. Michael is sent to live in a city far from his beloved fishing village. In trouble at school and in constant conflict with his hard-nosed Uncle Ted, Michael feels uprooted and unwanted. After he goes ballistic at school and knocks a kid out cold Michael vows to run away. His timid cousin Curtis begs to join him and together they set off on a quest for freedom and belonging, determined to prove they can survive on their own. Their journey into Newfoundland wilderness proves more revealing than either could have imagined.

Much of the acclaim for London-based English folk evolutionists Nicola Kearey (vocals) and Ian Carter (guitar/producer) has been down to their willingness to introduce a contemporary edge to the genre.
