Morning Way

Trader Horne

16th October 2015 - Album - EARTH006

Originally released on Pye’s alt-label Dawn, Trader Horne’s ‘Morning Way’ is widely agreed to be one of the unsung musical treasures of the 70s. Judy Dyble (ex Fairport Convention / Giles, Giles & Fripp, amongst others) and Jackie McAuley (Them) formed Trader Horne in 1969, naming their group – so the legend goes – after John Peel’s Nanny.

Trader Horne’s only album is a shining example of the cult British psychedelic era. By turns the album opens with folk song ‘Jenny May’, moving into pop territory on love song ’Sheena’ and something altogether more esoteric on ‘Velvet To Atone’.

Judy on her autoharp used on the recording: “The one I’d played in Fairport had been a stereo one, and was left behind when she left the band.  John [Peel] gave me the only other solid body electric autoharp in the country at that time – used for Trader Horne this one was mono. I still have it. It still sounds lovely.”

‘Morning Way’ will be released on sunset red vinyl and limited to just 1000 copies worldwide. The release comes with high quality download and includes two additional non-album tracks, ‘Here Comes The Rain’ and ‘Goodbye Mercy Kelly’ – the CD version will include all tracks.

Trader Horne will also celebrate their 45th Anniversary with a performance of their album in full at London’s Bush Hall on November 29th. The special event will be the first time they have played together since the album’s initial release in 1970.
