Debut album from Liverpool based folk and roots collective 'The Random Family'.

11-Colour Me In

Combining traditional folk instruments and arrangements with modern approaches to song writing, The Random Family seek to create a sound that expresses their own musical style and ambitions, whilst being steeped in the tradition and values that encouraged them to learn to play in the first place... 
Inspired by traditional folk music from both sides of the Atlantic, The Random Family utilise 4 part harmonies, acoustic guitars, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, tenor guitar, double bass, flute and clarinet to create their unique style and varieties of arrangement... 
The Random Family also run and host one of Liverpool's most popular monthly folk events. Taking place in an old converted church, ‘The Family Folk-Up’ showcases the best acts from the local acoustic folk scene alongside established and emerging acts from across the country. Notable visitors include BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winners Martin Simpson and Andy Cutting, folk legends Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick, and 2008 Mercury Music Prize nominees Rachel Unthank and the Winterset 
In 2009, The Random Family organised and curated the first Liverpool Folk and Roots Festival, which took place over 8 days and featured sell out performances from The Unthanks, Martin Simspon, Roy Bailey, Hughie Jones and many more…
The Random Family are currently recording their debut album which is scheduled for release later in 2010, continuing to perform up and down the country, and looking forward to a long summer of festival appearances… 
"They're a folk four piece who all take a turn on vocals and do a fine line in shufflingly beautiful melodies. Indeed, tonight they even came close to stealing the show from the headliners with their often dazzling harmonies." - BBC MANCHESTER
"There are a lot of young folk artists out there who need support and encouragement - the Random Family being one of the best” - BBC 6 MUSIC
