down and luckily Kevin was on the same bill and bravely stepped in. They had both
had admired each other's work for some time and it seemed like such a good idea to
start working together, so McDem Records was born. McDem Records has given them
both a chance to explore and record more traditional folk songs and share writing
ventures. Jacqui McShee is a founding member of the iconic folk/jazz group Pentangle.
