The Rainmakers on CD

Here is our new album released in Nov 2010. It's a diverse collection of songs all relating in some way to Christmas in contemporary Australia. A few old traditional carols that you already know, as well as a couple of lesser known ones. A few contemporary folk songs yearning for peace in our world as well as a new one from Jane that wraps up why we enjoy singing the year to an end. Guaranteed to contain no references to reindeers, snow or Santa.

A wonderful selection of songs exploring our complex responses to the challenges thrown at us at Christmas.
