Emmerson, leading light in both The Imagined Village and Afro Celt Sound System, teams up with Lush Cosmetics co-founder Mark Constantine for a set of four CDs that draw deeply on both a love of folk music traditions and bird song. The result is an innovative project, put together partly to act as a sound accompaniment to Lush’s various spa treatments and massages yet also a stand-alone musical pleasure.

Walking With Ghosts, a new band created by Simon especially for this collaboration, will be performing a selection of these spa tracks at Cecil Sharp House in London on Thursday May 5th!
