Coming together musically through a shared love of traditional narrative song, Sacred Harp singing and sparse mountain banjo, they have performed on stages as diverse as the Royal Opera House in London, and Morden Tower on the old city walls of Newcastle.Released in 2018, ‘The Ox and the Ax’ is Cath and Phil Tyler's third album. It follows ‘The Hind Wheels of Bad Luck’ (No-Fi, 2010) and ‘Dumb Supper’ (No-Fi, 2008).
