LATEST RELEASE
‘Acoustic at the Norfolk’ is Carus Thompson’s fourth release and presents his songs in their most raw, brilliant state – acoustic, engaging and beautiful. The double disc album showcases Carus either solo or accompanied by Dave Johnson (harmonies, mandolin) and Adam Gare (violin), and was recorded by legendary engineer James Hewgill (The Waifs, The Triffids, Dave Hole). The album will be released nationwide by MGM and Carus is embarking on an Australian tour to celebrate its launch before heading back to Europe for the remainder of 2003 with shows in Germany, France, Denmark and the UK.
