"English folk's new supergroup!" Peter Arnold - Priddy Festival

The Devil's Interval combines the individual vocal talents of Lauren McCormick, Jim Causley and Emily Portman.The English song tradition so strongly expressed in their solo work is also present in their group repertoire which ranges from sumptuous tales of heartbreak to gorey murder ballads to the simply downright dirty!

Though young and very attractive they are already seasoned performers and workshop leaders having appeared at many major festivals including the 50th Sidmouth International Festival, Glastonbury Festival, Cambridge, Towersey and the National.

They have already made a big impression on the folk scene and recieve regular airplay on BBC Radio 2 and 3. They have also recieved wide press coverage in folk magazines including a recent cover article in fRoots and were given their recording debut on Martyn Wyndham-Read's 'Song Links 2' album (Fellside).

The trio have sung with Waterson:Carthy on their Frost & Fire tours for three years running and are set to join them again in December 2007 for another spectaular tour of seasonal songs. In 2006 T.D.I. also collaborated with Waterson:Carthy on their greatly acclaimed album; 'Holy Heathens and the Old Green Man' (Topic).

 "Lauren, Jim and Emily are three musicians utterly committed to singing the traditional songs of these islands and doing so while maintaining a great sense of adventure along with an obvious enjoyment of the music and a pride in their own abilities as musicians." Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy MBE
