Ragamuffin Children - "Lullaby"

Ragamuffin children are a Christchurch folk duo.... and we've had them play here in Taupo a couple of times. Last time they played here they had a couple of extra members and that was also evident on their second album 'The Seahorse Emporium'. The debut album 'Warecat Lullabies' had a more paired back and organic sound. Their songs are definitely quirky but have some traditional folk elements coming through as well.... particularly with Anita's beautiful vocals. Brooke Singer, who happens to be the keyboard player, writes most of the songs and is growing as a songwriter... with more complex arrangements on the second album. I've chosen "Lullaby" from the first album, partly because they have a video for it and partly because it's a good song... so here it is.
