​Emily Barker / Despite the Snow (2008)



"The album was recorded over a snowy Easter weekend in a 16th century barn in Norfolk, with Emily joined by her all-female band The Red Clay Halo...The band recorded live takes, giving the record a very intimate sound that captures the virtuosity and charisma of The Red Clay Halo quartet..."



The song 'Nostalgia' from the album was used as the theme tune to the BBC series  Wallander and won a BAFTA.
