Marrakech/Belly Of The Earth

With folk music entertaining a possible resurgence thanks to Nizlopi, here’s an artist with the potential to follow suit. Making this a double A-side is a smart move by a smart guy, with ‘Marrakech’ being a tune you’d bring out for a good old (possibly drunken) sing-song. ‘Belly of The Earth’, on the other hand, reveals a more sombre and passionate element to Noelie, and might be played to accompany the bad kind of drinking. It’s a solid offering, and his imminent seven-date Irish tour should prove his full worth.
