Notes from Piers' bandcamp page:
Recorded in one take, whilst keeping the overall colour of the chapel’s unique acoustics (recorded at Chapelle de Conqueyrac) - limited edition 7” vinyl produced by Beating Drum and No Format.
For the cover, Piers made a woodcut, as he was carving it and we then used that image for the cover of the 7".

Last summer Piers Faccini and Blick Bassy met and sang together for a concert in a Romanesque chapel in the Cevennes near Piers’s home. The following morning they agreed to try and write and record something together, the challenge being to get it all done in the three hours they had available before Piers left for another gig. In the exceptional surroundings of Conqueyrac chapel, they wrote and recorded ‘Mother Time’ as well as putting down a version of the American traditional 'Make me down a pallet on your floor' to which Blick Bassy added some word in Bassa, the language of his homeland in Cameroun.
