Laura Gibson

In the autumn of 2006, we received an email from our friend Paul Austin from the Transmissionary Six. He was just back from Portland, where he had attended a show by a folk singer named Laura Gibson, whom he very warmly recommended to us. So we followed Paul's mouthwatering advice and, much to the pleasure of our ears, discovered "Hands In Pockets", "Nightwatch" and other jewels produced by another friend of the hinah family, Adam Selzer from Norfolk & Western. That made us want to bring back to life the cd series after a year's hibernation and we asked Laura if she would be interested in releasing something on hinah. In the end, Laura did not have the time for a cd release but we have kept in touch and, when she told us that she would tour Europe, we invited her to come and play a house show, which we recorded as a hinah session.
