Needle and Thread

★★★★★
DOM PRAG was steeped in the traditions of the classical guitar from childhood and later developing an interest in blues and folk. This second album of his is produced by Show of Hands’ Phil Beer who accompanies with fiddle on several tracks.
Consisting of seven traditional songs and three self-penned originals, the album has a common theme throughout of fighting against social injustice and helping people through dark times.
